This is one of my favourite early, and if fact all season, loops up in the Lac due Bois grasslands.   We will meet at the cattle guard at Batchelor at 1030 to car convoy to trailhead just a couple of km up the road.

The loop is a moderate trail some 10 km around (depending on how many side trips we make) with some off trail areas.   It will take 3-4 hours with a stop for lunch at some point.   There could be mountain bikers on the trail, and mountain sheep but they won’t probably be on bikes!

The loop is rolling terrain around the tower in the Lac du Bois grasslands with some lovely views over the valley and city.   It may still be a bit muddy so poles are an asset, there could also be tics out at this time of year.

You are welcome to bring a furry friend, but they will have to be leashed at all times.  This event will be enabled a week or so before the hike date.

I have been retired for several years now and enjoy many activities in the outdoors such as hiking, cycling, skiing, backpacking. I have lived in Canada for the last 35 years and spent a great deal of time exploring the Rockies, K-country, Kootenays and parts of BC.

I get out on a hike, ski or cycle ride several times a week either with the club or family and enjoy running multi day trips as well as day outings.I will lead fairly strenuous, moderate to steady paced outings as well as some starter outings.
