PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO A HIKING EVENT AS THERE WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENT SNOW THIS WEEKEND

Glory Hills is located within the Glory Hills Environmentally Significant Area. Wetlands on the property are part of a chain of wetlands that help filter and protect our water supply. Located north of Stony Plain this land has been conserved by Edmonton and Area Land Trust. The area is compromised of 110 hectares of wet land, boreal and aspen forest and is located north of Stony Plain. Parking is limited at the site. Carpooling is strongly encouraged. We will meet at the West Edmonton Mall Overflow Parkade at 9:20am for a 9:30am departure.

A map on how to get to the property can be found here: How to get there.

A trail map of the area can be found here: Trail map.

Please note there are no facilities in the area. Leave no trace and respect the land. That means leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photographs.

PLAN B: Chickakoo area: hike

    Carpool Cost: The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $22.04 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Friday, April 19, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
