| Itinerary: |
|
One of my favourite Mountain Biking trails. Good crosstraining for the upcoming ski season! Banff area did not get as much snow as areas further east, the trail should be mostly dry. 16km out to the warden cabin for a total round trip of 32km. The trail is mostly moderate, though a bit rooty and rocky with a few technical sections where there are washouts due to the 2013 floods. Often if it's sunny it feels warmer than forecast, as the
trail is on a south facing aspect. The trip time should be 4-5
hours on the trail.

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.
