With the ‘Stage 3’ reopening with all restrictions lifted, we will still a few of the protocol changes we made for our hikes (listed at the bottom). We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 status and may has to make further adjustments.
We’ll then follow the route along Coal Lake to Point Cooperation for lunch then return to the trail head.

We’ll meet at the trail head beside “A43” (Township Road 480 / Range Road 240) at 9:45 a.m.. The hike will leave from ‘A43’ at 10:00. The pictures from June 9th, 2019 (albeit that was a 1-way hike from A43 to A45 with lunch at Point Cooperation).
