Distance: approx 8 - 11 km
The forecast is warm and sunny for this longest day of the year. We'll walk for approximately 2 hours and once we are approaching the starting point, we will wait at a good west facing vantage to watch the sun set at approximately 9:57 PM. Celebratory food and drink is encouraged. Ginger ale is great for a toast, if you choose something harder, please drink responsibly. Starting from Silver Springs, we will hike the fairly short distance to Bowness along the the Bowmont Park path with a beautiful view of the Bow River. We will cross two pedestrian bridges and then walk quiet residential streets to Shouldice Park, returning to the Bowmont path at Home Road. It may be possible to walk part way on the dirt path along the escarpment, with great views of the river. We may have time to see the springs on the north side of the river (which the coordinator has not been to before, some route finding, or not finding, may be involved). Conditions will dictate how close we come to this route. We will be walking at a slow to moderate pace to ensure we are back to the starting point in time to watch the sunset. | |||||||
