Itinerary:
This trip is Slow and Steady Friendly. What does that mean? It means we're out to enjoy ourselves at whatever pace is comfortable for the group. If you're new to hiking or scrambling or just not looking to explore the meaning of VO2 Max, this trip's for you.
Shoulder season is hiking and scrambling season. It's too cold to climb and there's a few too many rocks for even rock skis. Luckily the mountains provide for us in all conditions.
The plan is to meet at the Our Lady of the Assumption parking lot and then head out to K- Country for a hike or scramble. The weather is pretty variable so if things are clear and dry, we'll do an easy scramble and if things are getting a little snowy or wet, we'll go for a hike.
We'll lock down the specifics of our destination a little closer to the date once we have a better feeling for the weather.
Feel free to send an email if you have any questions.
Required Items to Bring:
Bring a helmet if we're doing a scramble. Bring warm clothes, something wind/waterproof, proper footwear, lunch and a headlamp (gets dark early these days).

Recommended Items to Bring:
A warm drink in a thermos.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!

Don't be a flake - if you're going to bail, bail early enough that we can fill your spot!
*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.
