Alberta's Premier Hiking Trail
Seven hikers came out for the walk through Mill Creek Ravine. It’s a popular and well-used trail all year round. Already this winter, the trail was packed down by dog walkers. This made walking very comfortable.
We came across a few decorations. Not as many as we had seen in previous years, but still festive and colourful as always.
Thanks to everyone for coming out and being such great company. You can find more photos on Flickr.
The trail maintenance volunteers have been eager to get out and get back to work.
Last Friday we had a break in the weather and scheduled our first work party of the year. The crew went to Wanisan Shelter and applied two coats of stain, removed garbage left behind by visitors, and swept the outhouses.
Of course, there was standing water on the trail in many places, so we did not mow or venture farther than the shelter.
This week we visited Ross Creek and reinforced and widened the bridge. They also added ramps for the mower.
Instead of going out to a restaurant for coffee afterwards, we have been enjoying a tailgate party with Italian sandwiches and strawberries from the garden—thanks to Sherry!
