A CALGARY-BASED HIKING CLUB
Hiking - Scrambling -
Urban Walks - Backpacking - Skiing - Snowshoeing - Social Events
| CORE is a Calgary-based hiking club created in 1999. We are a smaller club
of very active members of varying ages.
New members have often commented on how welcome they felt when
coming out for first events.
Our primary
activities are day hikes. Check out our
past events calendar to see some of the hikes we have done.
We also have a very active contingent of scramblers. Check them
out
here.
Another unique club activity are
the urban walks. A great way to get exercise mid-week. Many of us
have discovered parts of our city we never knew existed.
Hiking is our primary activity,
but we also have active participation in skiing (cross-country
and downhill), snowshoeing, backpacking, camping, cycling, and
canoeing. We also
hold social events with dinner or movie nights, picnics and
barbeques, as well as other
group social activities and outings. Trip and event planning is
an ongoing process and we welcome and encourage members to get
involved by suggesting and/or coordinating activities. We feel
the more involved members are, the more fun it is !!! |

Note: The parking lot adjacent to the
"Old Firehall" is accessible only from eastbound Memorial drive;
thus the arrows in this map (NOTE: Sept 2009, the Firehall parking
lot has limited space due to construction. There is a parkade
directly across Memorial Drive, or alternatively behind Robbie Stuart's
Pub (accessable driving west on memorial Drive, or alternatively, take 2nd
Avenue off 10th Street, and then south in the back alley to get to the
parking lot).
(Better yet: Take a bicycle or C-train, or just walk from your office
downtown)
