On Sunday six hikers came out to fend off the wild animals along the valley. We started in Camrose and soon turned onto private land that runs along the railway track to Happy Valley.
The Happy Valley hike is the perfect hike in winter or summer. The owner of the Happy Valley land encourages people to walk, bike, run, snowshoe or hike on the trails they maintain.
Throughout the trails are creatures, farm equipment, crooked houses and signs that give hikers encouragement to keep going.
The saskatoons were perfect for picking and we ate our weight in berries as we hiked. We had lunch at the lookout, and on the way back took the bike and ski trails on the other side of the Stoney Creek.
Thanks to Irene for scouting and leading the hike and to the landowner for providing such a fun experience. You can see more photos on Flicker.
