Please note that this event takes place on Wednesday EVENING during a full moon.

Come and explore the scenic trails at Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area, west of Edmonton. There are four interlinking trails - Indian Ridge, Natures Way, Woodland Lookout and Cranberry Corner trails, in total around 9 km.

We will walk for at least 2 hours around the various forested trails in the moonlight (bring your headlamps in case it's cloudy).

The terrain is mainly gently rolling hills, but there are one or two steeper ones too. There are picnic tables and outhouses along the trails.

Look for Mark wearing a Blue EOC cap hanging from the antenna of his car in the upper parking lot past the lake.

We will meet at 6:50 pm at Chickakoo.

We will need to stay fairly close together as a group, so any real "speed demons" or "slowcoaches" will either need to slow down or speed up as appropriate, or find another event.

Be prepared for any weather conditions!
