Itinerary:

I would like to get out on Friday and enjoy some nice November hiking as the weather looks very promising.

Plan is to hike Deer Ridge first followed by Eagle Hill. I will be using the guidebook, Daffern's Kananaskis Country guidebook Volume 2. Expect close to 16km and around 400m elevation gain.

I'd like to hike at a comfortable, moderate pace with breaks along the way. If conditions are favourable, I'd like to have a nice relaxing stop on top of Deer Ridge and Eagle Hill.

Carpool Cost:

Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $36.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.30, effective Friday, April 19, 2024). This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle.

Notes:

Winter Safety Considerations Completed by Jeff on November 19, 2014.
Terrain Classification: Deer Ridge and Eagle Hill are between the foothills and the Front Ranges and is not assigned a rating on avalanche bulletins.
Conditions: Not listed.
Plan: Hike Deer Ridge and Eagle Hill as per Daffern's description and following the signed trails. If we encounter snow that is higher than the ankle, we will look for an alternate route with less snow or turn back.
Note that COC event coordinators are volunteers and are not trained guides. All participants are responsible for assessing the current road conditions, current weather conditions, current trail conditions and current avalanche conditions for the trip.
