Itinerary: | |||||||
The wildflowers should be really ramping up in Bow
Valley Provincial Park - one of the best shows,
with several flowers not found many other places.
We will hike the Bow River/Moraine Loop, hunting for wildflowers. Bring your camera, your identification book, and definitely your bug spray. The distance for the planned loop is about 5km, with minimal elevation gain. If we have extra time and daylight, we can spent a little more time in the area, but we'll see how slowly the flowers have us moving. The expectation is to move at a very slow pace, with the chance to really stop and check out everything around us. This is more exploration than day hike. We will plan to be back home no later than 10:00. This trip will be CANCELLED if the weather looks poor the day of. If the weather is looking uncertain, please watch your email. | |||||||

How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | Drive west on Highway 1 past the Highway 40
junction. Cross the Bow River, and go north (right
turn) on Highway 1X. Very shortly, turn left at the Bow Valley Provincial Park sign. If you cross the Bow River again, you have gone too far. Follow this road, staying left at one junction, past the Middle Lake, Elk flats, and Whitefish Day Use areas, to the parking lot at the very end. Drive will take 45-60 minutes. | ||||||
