Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance: 7 km round trip Elevation Gain: 213 m Time to start walking off the chocolate and turkey! We'll also get some much needed sunshine too! Fullerton Loop is an easy hike that provides excellent views of the Elbow Valley and nearby foothills. The plan is to undertake this hike at a relaxed, but moderate pace. We will stop to catch our breath when needed and enjoy the views. Note that as this is an evening hike, we will be starting and hiking in the dark, so a headlamp is required. Winter has arrived in the foothills too so microspikes or some other form of foot traction will also be needed for a safe hike. You are welcome to bring your dog if they are used to hiking at a moderate, steady pace with a group and can respect the personal space of other dogs and people. Bring a light to clip onto your dog so we can see them too, please! :) We will be hiking the loop clockwise, going UP the steep side and down the more moderate section. The event will go ahead as planned unless there is a heavy rainfall warning for the area, dangerous road conditions or temperatures below - 25c (including wind chill) | |||||||
