Itinerary:

Meet in the parking lot at Fort Edmonton Park at 7:00 PM for a 7:05 PM departure. Meet at the eastern part of the parking lot, furthest away from Fort Edmonton Park near the Quesnel bridge.

We will head west alongside the river past Fort Edmonton, then cross the new Fort Edmonton footbridge to the north side of the river.
On the north side, we will come across a very evil set of stairs (200 stairs?!), but there is a great view from the top!.
Once we have recovered from the stairs, we will explore the trails of Patricia Ravines and Wolf Willow Ridge, and may be walking through some residential areas as well.
After our exploring, we will cross the river again, and return to the meeting place via the upper trail past Fort Edmonton.

Dogs are welcome on this hike: dog owners - please remember to register your dog too.

At the meeting place Mark will be wearing a yellow EOC baseball cap so you can recognise him.

PS this is one of our new favourite hikes in the river valley. Quite a scenic hike.
