SUMMARY:Alfred Savage Centre\, Snow Valley & John Nature Centre
DESCRIPTION:Note: Due to some construction on the trail just past the Snow Valley Ski Chalet we have had to make a slight alteration to the hike: \n\n\n\n\nwe will now be meeting at the Alfred Savage Centre Parking Lot (parking lot off Fox Drive\, at the Whitemud Park exit\, going to the bottom of the hill & taking the turn to go under Fox Drive)\n\n\n\nwe will still be meeting in the parking lot at about 10:15 a.m.  with the hike leaving at 10:30\n\n\n\nstarting from the Alfred Savage end the trail has a junction that will bypass the construction\n\n\n\nthe trail throughout is snow-packed and where the sun shines there are quite a number of slippery spots so it is highly recommend to have trax/ice picks or at least poles\n\n\n\nthe pictures from November 6th\, 2022\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll meet at the Whitemud Park Parking Lot (parking lot just before you go under the Whitemud Drive overpass towards the Snow Valley ski chalet) at about 10:15 a.m. The hike will leave from the parking lot at 10:30. The pictures from November 6th\, 2022. \n\n\n\nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.

SUMMARY:Stoney Creek - Happy Valley Trail (Camrose) - Canceled due to icy conditions
DESCRIPTION:Canceled due to icy conditions:  due to the recent thaw/freeze conditions when Irene & the gang from Camrose scouted the trail this week they found it to icy (even with spikes) to hike it safely so we are canceling this weeks hike (updated 2024-03-16\, 03:00MT) \nThe Happy Valley Trails are now setup for winter biking\, snowshoeing\, hiking. Hopefully this will make up for the weather impacting both Stoney Creek hikes during the summer of 2023. Pictures from March 19th\, 2023  \nWe’ll meet at the trail head on on Valleyview Drive\, Camrose (plug 2403 Valleyview Drive into your GPS & the trail head is next to it) at 10:15 a.m. and the hike will leave from at 10:30.  \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information.
