| Itinerary: |
|
We'll head out to scramble to the top of Heart
Mountain, and weather/timing permitted we'll
continue the full traverse.
The elevation gain is ~850m and the total
hiking distance for the traverse is ~10km, so
solid hiking fitness is needed to enjoy the
day. It's not necessary to have an ultra-
marathon runner fitness level, just be
comfortable hiking up & down hill for 6 hours
or more. We'll be travelling at a mellow &
consistent pace throughout the day.
The technical rock steps are relatively easy
with minimal exposure, and most can be avoided
if necessary.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
