Come join us for an opportunistic photo snowshoe (or hike) to track
bison
and the elusive elk at Elk Island National Park along
the
12 km Hayburger Trail. This will be a moderately
paced
hike (~4km/hr)
with occasional stops to photograph wildlife or other scenic views.
Photo
stops will be no
more than 10-15 minutes in duration depending on
what
we
encounter. Non-photographers are
welcome as this is a combination snowshoe or hike and
photography
trip. Please
note that the expected duration of the snowshoe is 4-5
hours
with photo
stops and lunch, plus travel time.
