SUMMARY:Ministik A87 to Horseshoe Lake
DESCRIPTION:This will be one of our hikes within the Ministik Bird Sanctuary. We’ll meet at the trail head beside “A87” (Spilstead Access)\, ~0.2km south of the corner of Township Road 502/Range Road 210\, at 9:45 a.m.. The hike will leave from ‘A87’ at 10:00.  \n\n\n\nPlants typically seen on the trail from A87 north to Knull Lake – Coltsfoot\, agrimony\, rose\, sasparilla\, meadow rue\, dogbane\, goldenrod\, Asters\, fireweed\, thistles\, giant hyssop\, nettles\, other mints\, mayflower\, birch\, spruce\, beaked nut hazel\, honeysuckle\, highbush cranberry\, snowberry\, water hemlock\, yarrow\, yellow rattle in grass patches\, fairy bell\, false soloman’s seal\, lily of the valley\, nodding biggars tick\, and various mosses. \n\n\n\nThe Ministik Bird Sanctuary\, an important bird sanctuary for migratory waterfowl. You can hope to see plenty of wildlife as well as a fine example of muskeg habitat. This is an excellent time to visit here\, as mosquito populations are down\, but come prepared anyway (with repellent) as well as water\, sun block and lunch for another fine day on the Trail. If you have a camera and perhaps a knock-about pair of binoculars\, why not bring them too? You won’t be sorry. The pictures from May 5th\, 2024. \n\n\n\nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, pages 72-75 \, or contact the Hike Leader\, Helen W.\, at 780-884-3097. \n\n\n\nHere are the stories of previous hikes: \n\n\n\n\nMay 2024\n\n\n\nJuly 2023\n\n\n\nMay 2022\n\n\n\nSeptember 2021\n\n\n\nAugust 2019\n\n\n\nSeptember 2018\n\n\n\nAugust 2016\n\n\n\n\nThe 2021 hike had the added bonus of walking with Dylan Reade\, the Oscar-nominated cameraman behind some of the great IMAX films (“Fires of Kuwait”\, “Flight of the Butterflies”\, “Dinosaurs Alive”\, to name a few). Dylan was producing a series of videos for the Beaver Hills Biosphere website. In an email correspondence\, Dylan said\, “I am particularly interested in Ministik since a portion of the sanctuary intersects with a route that Joseph Tyrell took through the Beaver Hills in 1886—which I am also covering in an upcoming episode.”

SUMMARY:Battle River (A60) to Schnee Hill
DESCRIPTION:This hike of 10.4 km is along the stunning Battle River. This huge river valley was created at the end of the last ice age when the melt water that created Lake Edmonton broke through the ice and drained the huge lake in just a few days. The pictures from October 6th\, 2019. \nWe’ll be starting from the “A60” at about 10 a.m. From Highway 13 take the ‘South Bittern Lake Road’ for 5½km – “A60” is ~300m after crossing bridge just before turn going back uphill. Please park before the row of trees\, ~200m from the bridge (without blocking the farm road) to allow vehicles to make it through the turn safely. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, pages 48-49\, or contact the Hike Leaders JoAnne B. & Lee S.\, at 780-487-0645. \nHere are the write-ups from previous hikes on this section: \n\nOctober 2019\nOctober 2017\n October 2016

SUMMARY:East Battle River (Duhamel) to Rest & Be Thankful Hill
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally this was our first out of town hike of the season & a glorious way to start spring … and for the past few years we’ve also added it to our fall schedule\, providing another chance at an out of town hike before winter hits. \nThe hike follows the Battle River east towards Stoney Creek and Camrose. It starts by following the river\, low in the valley across open grassland\, but eventually winds its way up out of the valley\, stepping over a field of crocuses\, then into woods and gulleys\, and ending at the top of “Rest & Be Thankful” hill. There we stop to eat our lunches\, thankful for the spectacular views. \nWe’ll meet at the trail head Duhamel (Ross Flats) Campground (at Range Road 212C just off Highway 21 & the campground is no longer in operation). The hike will leave from ‘A62’ at 10:00. The pictures from October 20th\, 2024. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes web page for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, pages 52-53\, or contact the Hike Leader\, Mary M. (780-608-0593). \n\n\nHere are the stories of previous hikes: \n\n\n\n\nOctober 2024\n\n\n\nOctober 2023\n\n\n\nOctober 2022\n\n\n\nOctober 2021\n\n\n\nOctober 2020
