6 km round trip distance approx.  More if you walk the ridge.

325 m elevation gain

What a great day for a ridge walk, and in the foothills of the Highwood no less.  A chinook arch, a huge wall cloud with threatening rain, snow and wind.  Great company questing through the lush green forest, in winter?  Oh yes, what a strange year it has been.

Enjoy this one, navigation skills are a must, experienced hikers only as the game trails multiply and dissolve by the handful.  The ridge has a touch of scrabbling at the top and undulates like a psytrance baseline from north to south.  With the great divide watching from a distance.  And its windy as hell.

The Coyote Hills in the distance as we ascend through a meadow.
