Unfortunatley, plans for an out of town hike have not panned out, but that will not keep us off the trails. Join us for this extended walk/mini hike as we make our way through Assiniboine Park , through Assiniboine Forest, and into Fort Whyte Alive.

MEETING INFO: We will meet in the court yard outside of Sargent Sundae (2053) Portage Ave beginning @9am with a planned departure of 9:30am. Those needed a morning coffee or wishing to grab breakfast can head across the street to Joe Black Coffee.

PARKING: There is parking along many of the side streets connecting to Portage. Please do check restrictions before committing to a spot.

BUS: The Blue Line lets off at Overdale in both directions, right in front of Sargent Sundae.
 
TRAIL: This is an well groomed, flat path the whole way, with one hill. Once in Fort Whyte we will go on the boardwalks.
The only challenge to this walk would be the length.
There and back, with site-seeing in Fort Whyte, expect to walk roughly 15km. Stopping to eat lunch and look at the different sites, we should find our way back at Sargent Sundae between 2pm and 3pm where we can indulge our sweet tooth.

WEATHER: The forecast is for comfortable highs in the low 20's with a mix of sun and cloud (small chance of a light shower). It may feel a bit chilly to start, so a light jacket or sweater might be needed.

BRING: It will not be overwhelmingly hot, but do bring sun protection and a few litres of water. A light lunch or some snacks to last you the afternoon is recommended.

COST: Loonie donations to Out There will be taken. Any purchases at Fort Whyte or Sargent Sundae are extra.

REGISTRATION: Is not required. Simply meet us at Sargent Sundae before 9:30.

GUESTS: This is a 2SLGBTQIA+  event. Guests should be community members or allies.

DOGS: Are not allowed at Fort Whyte Alive, therefore may not join on this walk.
