Let’s hike Jumpingpound Loop!

Hopefully there’s still less snow in the Sibbald Valley. Let’s hike this easy 10K flat loop.

Please meet us at Millenium Park in Canmore. It’s at the south end of 5th Avenue. We leave right at 9:00 am. Drive East on the TransCanada Highway to Highway 40. Go South to Highway 68….turn East. Travel about 20K. The trailhead is on the north side of the highway right before you get to the Pine Grove recreation area.

Note about carpooling: You can choose to drive yourself to the trailhead. If you choose to carpool there is a $10 carpool fee payable to the driver. Please bring correct change and pay your driver at the start.

We’re going to start this loop on the North side of Highway 68 first and head to the PineTop picnic area. There are a couple of views of Moose Mtn in the distance but mostly this trail is in the trees. We can have our lunch at the picnic area and then continue West back to the trailhead.

Total distance is around 10Km and mostly flat.

Bring bear spray, warm layers, hat, gloves, lunch, tea, seat pad, microspikes, etc

Hope to see you there
