Sept 26, 7:25am: It’s wet this morning but the forecast is for clearing in a few hours. We are going ahead with the club hike. Bring a rain jacket, pants and dress up in layers including long underwear.
All athletes, coaches and parents of the ITA-TA-TT-LC-PC programs are invited to join in a fun club hike around Tent Ridge in Kananaskis country on Saturday, September 26th. We will try it again this year and hopefully we get a view!This hike traverses the Tent Ridge horseshoe taking in three summits with one section of easy scrambling. Views of Robertson, French, Sir Douglas, Commonweath, Birdwood, Smuts and The Fist are part of the reward.
This is “one of the most enjoyable ridge walks you will ever take,” according to the Gillian Daffern’s Kananaskis Country trail guide.
TT-LC-PC will hike in a clockwise fashion (a bit longer and some exposure) and ITA-TA will hike out and back in a counter clockwise matter along the ridge and meet the older athletes for lunch. Parents are welcome to use either route. The full clockwise hike is about 10.5km and hiking time will be 4 hours.

We will meet at 10:00am at the parking lot, see below. Please be on time!
How to get there:
From Canmore, follow Spray Lake Rd (742) pass the reservoir until you reach the Mt. Engadine Lodge/Mt. Shark turnoff. Turn there and drive 1.8 km to the trailhead parking area. Look for other CNSC vehicles
