Meet at the lower parking trailhead (easy walk or drive from the Banff centre) for 6am departure. The hike is quite steep but is a smooth and well maintained trail with great views. This is an unguided hike where you accept all responsibility for your own safety. There will be at least one person on the hike who know the area however. You may be comfortable in sneakers with good tread but hiking boots are recommended for ankle support.
More information on the trail can be found here.Last year this was a conference favourite connection and community building space.
