Itinerary:
I figure what better place to hold hills and drills than in the Rocky mtns. So I was thinking we would do two day hikes with half to full packs. Take in some of the sights enjoy a few BEvERages in the evening . We will be staying at the HI Nordegg Hostel Friday night Saturday and leave mid day Sunday.We will be staying in a co-ed dorm cabin. Bedding will be provided and sleeping bags are NOT permitted. Each person will be responable for there own gear and food. If you would like to car pool I need your info ASAP when you can leave and where you are leaving from. The hikes will likely range for 3-5 hours on Saturday and 2-3 max on Sunday.
