Itinerary:

Meet at the parking lot for Dawson Park for a 6:30 PM departure. I will be wearing a royal blue EOC baseball cap, so you can recognize me. This hike is on a mixture of paved, single track, unsurfaced trails, and will be at a moderate to advanced pace. Note that the trail up Kinnaird Ravine is a long steady climb. Head NE from the parking lot along the paved River Valley trail as far as Kinnaird Ravine, then head up Kinnaird Ravine gravel trails to the Murals. We will then leave the Ravine and pick up a "goat trail" that takes us back into the River Valley, where we can loop back via Riverside Trails on the other side of river. We may even pass the "Fraggle Rock Door".

Experienced intermediate hikers are all welcome, but please be advised that this hike has a brisk pace (up to 5.5 km/h) with challenging single track narrow trails *and elevation. A real challenge!! If you are signing up to this more difficult hike, we expect you to keep up to the fast pace so you don't fall too far behind and lose the group. The event duration will be approximately 2 hours. ***We are open to having dogs on the hike, however they must be leashed***

Look for Mark wearing (or holding) a blue EOC ball cap, or look up his profile picture on the volunteer page.

Notes:

1. Create social space. Avoid greeting each other where there is the potential for skin-to- skin contact, such as hugs or handshakes or high- fives. . When in doubt, share a friendly wave and 'hello'. Blow your nose, cough, sneeze, or clear your airway at least 2 metres away from others.

2. Are you in a high- risk category? Consider self- isolating if you are in a category with an immunocompromised system. Consultations with respiratory therapists indicate that individuals who suffer from asthma should exercise the same level of care they would exercise with other viruses.

3. Are you feeling unwell? Are you feeling unwell? If you have a cough or flu-like symptoms, you must stay home, and should consider getting yourself tested. Also the Alberta government states if you have symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath, that you should stay home.
