Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance: 7.6km round trip Elevation gain: 716m We will try and maintain a steady pace (slow to moderate), and stay together as a group. This hike is NOT for slow pokes, nor will we be rushing to the summit. IMPORTANT:This trail is quite steep, please be confident in your ability to handle the stated elevation before signing up. Previous experience with similar elevation gain is highly recommended. After ascending steeply through the forest with occasional glimpses of the winding Elbow River below, we eventually reach a more gentle open slope for the final few hundred meters to reach the summit. Once there, we will take some time to relax, have lunch and enjoy the beautiful 360-degree views. On the way home, we may stop for a beverage or ice cream in Bragg Creek if there is interest.
