Itinerary:

One of our beloved coordinators will soon be leaving the wild west for the urban jungle of Toronto.

Though we hate to see her and her family leave us, we promise not to push her down the scree run...maybe. As this is a farewell hike, I'm reserving the right to prioritize the guest list, in order to allow as many old friends as possible come along and help me try to talk her out of this nonsense :p

Yamnuska Mountain is a moderate hike/easy scramble. You should be fairly fit, and not afraid of heights - there is a small area with chains that freaks some people a little. Click HERE for more details on Yamnuska.

The pace will be leisurely to allow us as much time as possible together - drinks afterwards are guaranteed :)
