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

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:Ministik A87 to Horseshoe Lake

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:West Battle River (A57 to Schnee Hill)
DESCRIPTION:A wonderful section of the trail along Battle River\, going east from Gwynne.  It has a little bit of everything\, including passing by what used to be the historic Low’s Crossing (well historic from a WTA perspective). Checkout Gene Miskiw’s “The Battle Bridge Story” with loads of pictures he’s shared with us at the AGM a few years ago (“The Battle Bridge Story” and more). Unfortunately\, the combination of age & changes to navigable water regulations forced us to remove it\, which Karen Bell documented as “A Bridge too Far”. A sad day for us all\, but a reminder to the dedication and ingenuity of the original WTA members. \nWe’ll meet at the trail head “A57” on Highway 822 (bend near the top of the hill after the tracks & river) at 9:45 a.m.. The hike will leave from ‘A57’ at 10:00. The pictures from August 25th\, 2024. \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

SUMMARY:North Miquelon - A86 (Former Store) to A85 (Miquelon Park) (10:30 Start)
DESCRIPTION:Since this is Mother’s Day\, we’ll start with the ‘Mother’s Day Breakfast’ at the Spilstead Community Hall (20502 Township Road 502\, corner of Township Road 502/Range Road 205)\, meeting at the community hall for breakfast. We’ve delayed the hike start to 10:30 to accommodate those going to the breakfast.  \n\n\n\nThose just want to hike can meet us in the parking lot at the Spilstead Community Hall at 10:30. There is limited parking at the trailhead along Township Road 500 (~3km from the community hall)\, so to minimize the number of vehicles near the trailhead we may carpool from the community hall.  \n\n\n\nThe hike will start beside the site of the former store (A86)\, initially going past a new pond that cut through our trail\, then on to St. FX Lookout\, Erickson’s Curvert and into Miquelon Provincial Park where we’ll stop for lunch at one of the campsites. Pictures from September 22nd\, 2024. The beavers are always active around the new pond\, so the first ¾km may have some deadfall to stopover but after that it will be smooth sailing. \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 70-71\, 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\nSeptember 2024\n\n\n\nApril 2023\n\n\n\nAugust 2022\n\n\n\nAugust 2020\n\n\n\nJuly 2017\n\n\n\nJuly 2016

SUMMARY:Gwynne Section
DESCRIPTION:The huge valley starting at Gwynne and containing the Battle River as it flows eastward across Alberta\, was created in a few days.

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 April 28\, 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). \nHere are the stories of previous hikes: \n\n\n\nApril 2024\n\n\n\nApril 2023\n\n\n\nMay 2022\n\n\n\nApril 2019\n\n\n\nMay 2017\n\n\n\nMay 2015

SUMMARY:St. Albert Trails

They are likely to be cleared but throw your grippers in your car just in case. If the coming storm stays longer than predicted\, updates including cancellation\, will be communicated.

The hike will leave promptly at 10:30\, total length will be 8-9 km\, and pictures from April 7th\, 2024. There is a huge free parking lot at St. Albert Place.  \n\n\n\nAs an aside\, Frank leads a historical tour of St. Albert. A small portion of this hike will follow this program with Frank pointing out a few highlights. If interested\, ask him about accessing a self-guided version of the full tour.  \n\n\n\nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes web page for essential information.
