Slow and Steady Hikers Rawson Lake is still closed due to grizzlies on the trail, so the hike is changed to Hidden Lake, also around Upper Kananaskis Lake. I have confirmed with Alberta Parks that this trail is open. Due to the high temperatures (30 degrees) and the risk of heat stroke on the exposed […]
Slow and Steady Hikers I have recently hiked Mount Lipsett for the first time and it was awesome! There are other organizers posting Lipsett, but with a very early start time, so it has been requested that I lead a "later version". I am not a morning person, and cannot physically do it. So, this […]

Slow and Steady Hikers Let's head out for a ride through the beautiful rolling countryside of Bearspaw and Glendale Road, just west of Calgary! It is a fantastic, scenic route, but please be aware that we will be sharing the road with vehicle traffic. Here are a few important notes about the current conditions: * […]
Slow and Steady Hikers This hike starts at the Cat Creek trailhead and steadily climbs through trees before arriving at the ridgetop. It is described as a quiet trail which features creek crossings, seasonal wildflowers, and panoramic valley views. As this is an exploratory hike (for me), your patience and understanding would be greatly appreciated. […]

Alberta Parks just announced this morning; an alternate route is available to go to Ribbon Falls backcountry campground. I would like to test out this route, before taking people with […]
