Itinerary: | |||||||
Distance: 8.4km Elevation Gain: Approx 770 meters If your resolution was to hike more, this will be the perfect start. Pace: slower while ascending, moderate for the flat and descending sections. Alberta Parks recently invested $825,000 into the restoration and improvement of the Prairie Mountain trail. The trail is now wider, has switchbacks to ease the steep climb as well as rock steps in a couple of places for shortcuts and rock chairs to enjoy the view about half way up and at the summit. It still is a grueling hike up.
Our plan is once we reach the summit of Prairie
Mountain, we will take some time to catch our
breath, have lunch, if it isn't too windy, and
enjoy the view. We will descend the same way we
came up.
