Itinerary:
New Year’s Eve Road Trip!

Basically a touristy event, with some not so easy hiking thrown in, plus a dinner party in the evening with an overnight in Canmore to usher in the new year.

The plan is to hike up Sulphur Mountain in the morning, take the free ride down the gondola, go for soak in the Banff hot springs then head to the condo apartment after for our dinner party. If we are early, we can take stroll through town first. Note this plan/hike destination may change depending on weather and traffic conditions.

Dinner – We’ll do a Potluck Dinner. The apartment has a full kitchen to warm up your food. Note the check in is late at 5pm so may not have enough time for a cook up unless your meal is easy to prepare. Facility has a small hot tub so we can go soak some more after the dinner. Bring games to play!

Expect to be back in town late Sunday afternoon.

We’ll need a minimum of 6 participants to make this work. The final pricing may change depending on how many people actually goes.
Sign up on the waitlist first. Once you've sent your payment, you'll be added to the event. If you have any questions send me an email.
