Depending on the weather, looking to do Rimwall
Summit. Net gain (~972m), 7 km. Leaving Calgary
around 9 am, getting to trailhead around 10:30
and anywhere from 4-7 hours on trail and then
back to Calgary (can be persuaded to stop for a
bite/drink in Canmore on the way back - this is
a long weekend afterall!) This is my first ACC
trip as a leader so bear with me! If you're a
speed demon, probably best not to come with me.
Adequate snack and photo breaks are a given on
my trips.

Bear spray (at least 2 for the group)
Snacks, water (1-2L)
Hiking boots
Adequate layers (light rain gear)

km starting your odometer at the Bow River Bridge.

trail starts to the left side of a dry drainage.

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.
