Fullerton Loop is a perfect beginner/stay in shape hike that can be enjoyed all year round. Located just west of Bragg Creek, it provides a great opportunity for some fresh air, exercise and sunshine at a time of year when many of us just don't get enough. The plan for this event will be to enjoy a leisurely hike at a relaxed pace, allowing plenty of time to take in the scenery. Even at this pace, expect to complete the loop within 2 hours. Afterwards, we'll make our way into Bragg Creek for refreshments and maybe a light snack before heading home. Please allow at least 4 hours for this event.

Distance: 7km round trip
Elevation Gain: 213m or 692ft (as per albertaparks.ca)
