Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance: 15km Loop (+1.4km option to lookout) Elevation Gain: 500m (+125m option to lookout) Pace: Relaxed yet steady No dogs please We will hike from the parking lot via Prairie View Trail to McConnell Ridge. From there, those who wish to continue on to the Lookout may do so while the rest of us relax, eat lunch and enjoy the view from the ridge. We will regroup approximately 1 hour later to begin our decent via Jewel Pass. For more information, see Gillean Daffern's "Kananaskis Country Trail Guide Vol 1", Trail #36, "Prairie View Trail". The stated hiking time is an estimate only, we are out to enjoy the day and will definitely not be in a rush. If you have concerns about being back in the city by a certain time please refrain from registering. When in doubt, don't come out! It is my intention to arrive at Smitty's Restaurant at 8:00 am for breakfast where COC members receive 25% off of their food bill. If you would like to join me, please let me know in your sign-up comments. | |||||||
