Itinerary:

So we meet at the Mc Taggart Sanctuary parking lot on the south side/east bound side of 23rd avenue at 8:50. We start the hike at 9:00 sharp going south. The plan is to go south for 1 &1/4 hrs & back north to the cars for 45 minutes via a slightly different trail (when we can find one).

Required Items to Bring:
Dress for the weather, bring at least 1 liter of water. You will also NEED hiking boots (nothing else will do) & either one or two hiking poles or/and microspikes actual microspikes no other model. This is a safety issue. It WILL be slippery & there are two short but steep hills that I expect will be slippery.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Sunscreen,

How to Get There:
