Slow and Steady Hikers **Healy Pass T3 - Relaxed pace** Healy Pass is a classic, 19.5 km out-and-back hike. The first 6 to 7.5 km are a steady, somewhat uneventful walk through dense pine forest alongside Healy Creek, passing the Healy Creek Campground. The trail then breaks free into vibrant, sprawling alpine meadows. The final […]

Slow and Steady Hikers Picklejar is one of my favourite, longer hikes. After a beautiful drive down hwy 40 watching the scenery and sometimes bears, coyotes, always big horn sheep, we arrive at the trailhead. Then we hike 5km to the first lake, and continue along, higher into the alpine, with different flowers, plants, and […]

The riverside trails are beautiful and deer are frequently sighted during our evening walks. The walks start at 6:00 pm. We will […]

We'll start from the Renfrew Off-Leash Park parking lot […]

Slow and Steady Hikers The Galatea Lakes hike is a moderately tough hike with many scenic views. The dirt trail is forested up to Lillian Lake. The next section up to the Lower Galatea Lakes is steep, with some loose rocks. The trail drops down to the end of the lake, and then climbs to […]

Slow and Steady Hikers Beyond Sherbrooke Lake is an alpine adventure many hikers never experience. I’ve hiked to the lake before, but this time we’ll go a bit farther to see several waterfalls, wildflower-filled meadows, and not to mention stunning mountain views. The plan is to reach the Niles Amphitheatre, with about 600 m of […]

Slow and Steady Hikers Let's get out for a bike ride around the Glenmore Reservoir. 15 kms, scenic, not too difficult. You'll require a helmet and a bike that is in good operating condition. Weather permitting, of course.
