Monday Night Mountaineers

Welcome to Monday Night Mountaineers.  It's not a club, there's no membership fees or waivers to sign.  Just an excuse to get out Monday night for an easy hike in the foothills.

It's open to anyone but I suggest that kids be 8 years or older only in that some of the trails might be challenging for the little ones.  You're welcome to come and do a smaller hike or do your own thing if you have little ones who want to come along.

It's a very loose and non structured event.  Essentially I will post a suggested trail on Sunday evening describing Mondays hike.  We'll car pool as best we can from Calgary leaving around 5:30.  Bring your dinner along if you want or eat on the trail.  Alternative trail suggestions of course will be welcome!

You do not need to be an experienced hiker.  The goal is to get some time in the mountains with friends, break up the week and get a connected to nature in some way.

Not much gear is required but good walking shoes or hiking boots would be good to have.  It will probably be a fair weather event but some good rain gear and proper clothing would be good to have.  Have a little pack to hold stuff like a warm fleece, rain gear, snacks and water.

We'll use this blog-site to post trips and post photos and comments.  It will be up to you to keep up to date on the blog so you don't miss trip details.

Pass this link along to anyone you think might be interested.  There's no obligation to make every trip.  It's likely that I won't make them all either but I'll try and post a suggested trip even if I can't make it.

Hope you can join me for a Monday Night Hike!
