Just a heads up for this Thursdays ( Oct 3rd ) morning hike.
With this being an out of town hike to Mt Arabella, we will leave the bank at 9am... This time we will be doing the Arabella loop and the distance is approx 6.7 km, there will be several hills so expect a good workout ( if you are able to do Mt Belvedere, Cougar Mtn, Old Baldy etc ) then this hike should be within your abilities. We will be stopping at the summit for lunch and pics. Make sure to bring sufficient water and a snack as well as proper hiking shoes/boots... hiking poles are recommended as well. The weather is currently showing sun with a few clouds and temps between 15-20c.
How long will we be gone? I like to over guesstimate the time needed so consider 3hrs total driving, 4.5hrs for the hike and lunch so 7.5hrs. If we leave just after 9am we should be back approx 430pm. That's all the info for now, if there is any change to the plans I will be sure to make an announcement. Here is the route from Scotia Bank to the parking lot.
