Sun, Oct 11 2009 - Day Hike - Strathcona Wilderness Centre (View Original Event Details)
|
We had a cool, crisp start to the day but it ended up to be a great day of hiking on the snowy trails at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre east of Sherwood Park.
The 24 of us hiked on the outside trails from east to west (7.1km), then after our snack break we meandered back & forth on the inner trails hitting the black trail with a couple steep hills along the way (3.6km). Also we saw a couple of moose peering out of the bushes at us!
In total we went 10.6 km in about 2 hrs 30 mins (give or take - forgot to time it...).
When we returned to Bonnie Doon, 8 of us headed to Block 1912 cafe on Whyte Avenue for some lunch & hot drinks.!
Thanks everyone for coming out with me & hope to see you again!
