Itinerary:

What is a Half-And-Half? A half-and-half is a hike in which we park in the middle of the route and do an out-and-back one way, then an out-and-back the other way. Attendees can do just the first half if they wish, or they can stay for the whole thing (both halves). The first "half" will be slower paced and easier, and the second "half" will be a little faster and more steady for those who want a little more of a workout. NEITHER HALF WILL BE A TUFF-PUFF OR AT A SPEED DEMON PACE - THE FIRST HALF WILL BE SLOWEST-POKE AND SECOND HALF WILL BE JUST SLOWPOKE.

Meet at 6:15 to depart promptly at 6:30.

First Half: We will take the unpaved path east towards the river, then south following the river. It briefly joins with a paved path, and then splits off again. We'll walk at a slow/easy pace for a half hour, then return the same way (or alternately, along the paved trail).

Second Half: We'll take the unpaved trail into Kennedale Ravine to the west of Hermitage Park for a half hour or 45 minutes, then return the same way. This will be at a more steady pace for those who want a little more of a work-out.

This will be a slower-paced walk - beginners, slowpokes, children and photographers welcome!

Dogs must be kept on leash at all times

If you bring children, or other guests, please bring a waiver for them. You can fill it out ahead of time, but do NOT sign it until you are at the meeting place as we will need to witness your signature.

Do you have an idea for a good half-and-half? Please send me your ideas... I'm still quite unfamiliar with Edmonton's trails.
