Let's go for a night hike on Nose Hill! At the moment forecasts are calling for clear skies and warm temps so this could be an awesome opportunity for a full moon hike on Nose Hill! However, based on past attempts - I'm wondering if it should be called "A Night Hike and hoping we will see the full moon" or "A Night Hike and might be foggy, but will be awesome anyway." If it's clear our path will be illuminated by the moon. However, experience has demonstrated that even when overcast a night hike on Nose Hill can still be quite a thrill!

We will walk around Nose Hill using only available light, but please bring along a flashlight or headlamp and extra batteries for "just-in-case." If you are not comfortable walking around in limited light conditions then this may not be the right hike for you. Bring your compass because it's easy to get turned around in the dark, especially if it's foggy. If conditions permit we will stop for a while at the edge of the hill after our hike to consume warm beverages and snacks of your choice, and enjoy the views of city lights.

Please read directions to the meeting place carefully as it can be confusing for those not familiar with the area.

Ice cleats or some form of ice traction are strongly recommended. Icers from Lee Valley Tools are the ones most often recommended by other COC members.
