Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance: 11.8km - 13.6km Elevation Gain: 645m Group will be increased if more drivers Please do not be in a rush to get back to Calgary, if weather nice we will enjoy time at the summit. Hiking boots required-Sorry No Trail runners, (runners period) or jeans/sweat pants Come on out and join us to Raspberry Ridge, it's an active fire lookout that provides great views in all directions. You can see Mt. Burke to the east with the old Cameron Lookout. If we take the shorter way up be prepared for a relentlessly steep ascent. Along this stretch one will gain more than 300m over 1 km. Please note: Expect lingering snow in the mtns. Icers/microspikes recommended. PACE: Please note that this is not a speed demon's hike(getting to the top in record time) nor is it for very slowpokes, we will be hiking at a Moderate pace on gentler grades and at a Slower pace on steeper terrain going up. If you're not sure about a hike, feel free to contact the coordinator and remember to always hike within your ability in order to be able to keep up with the group. If you HAVE NOT hiked before or recently hiked with 500M+, this hike is not for you. I want to keep my group together. If you're use to "very slowpoke pace hikes" then this hike is not for you. | |||||||
