Itinerary: | |||||||
After last week's snowfall, the snowshoe trails in
Bragg are in good shape. However, you may wish to
bring along microspikes if things melt off any
more this week, or the trail is packed down to the
point that hiking is just easier. If the snow
conditions change significantly, I'll be in touch.
We will be following the Boundary Ridge circuit route. The pace will be moderate. This outing is suitable for beginners. No car pool is organized at this point. However, if you are coming from the city and need transportation to attend, contact me directly and I'll see what I can arrange with others that might be attending. Approx. Distance: 10 KM return Approx Elevation Gain: <300 M | |||||||
| |||||||
How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | Follow Highway 8 west out of town. At the Highway 22 roundabout head south towards Bragg Creek. Take the first turn into Bragg Creek, ahead of the traffic lights. You are on Balsam Avenue. Drive past the Esso Station and the malls, cross the bridge, and turn left at the the T junction. Continue for approx. 10 km till the end of the road and you'll reach West Bragg Creek parking lot. Park at the far (west) end of the parking lot. We'll meet at the warmup hut near the big trail sign. | ||||||
