and the Bow Valley in a breathtaking journey to
the top of Sulphur Mountain. We will have lunch at
the top - you may bring your own lunch or buy
something at the restaurant. We will then hike
down the mountain.
After we hike, we will be
stopping at the Rimrock for a celebratory drink
with Ed, and then decide where to have a birthday
dinner with Ed (either in Banff or Canmore).Please
do not be in a rush to get back to Calgary - our
return time will be approximately 8:00PM.
