Breakfast Hike: West Wind Pass (E-M) We'll carpool into Canmore to breakfast at Summit Caf�, a popular local eatery. After our Americanos, sticky buns & huevos rancheros, we squeeze into our vehicles to go to the trailhead on the Smith-Dorrien Rd. The trail climbs �aggressively� (393 m) with grand views most of the way to the pass (lots of opportunities to stop). At the pass look down into Wind Valley and across to Wind Ridge. Total distance is 6 km. After lunch with a grand view, we head back to the vehicles & return to Calgary. For those inclined to hike some more, we could stop just E of Canmore to visit a 'cave' carved out of Mt. McGillvary (a half hour walk up an old road) &/or a waterfall on Heart Creek (2.4Km). Mtg. place is Edworthy Park, N. side of river, E. end of parking lot. Please note that participation in this hike is limited to 10 people. Please register soon, if you want to join us.
