Due to the weather forecast we will move the hike from Ha Ling to Sulphur Mountain and aim to hike Ha Ling soon. We appologize for any inconvenience. We hope to move the hikes between Exshaw and Lake Louise over the course of the series.  Meet at trailhead by 5pm, ready to hike!

A fairly brisk pace up to the summit, grab some photos and hike back down. RMS encourages an inclusive environment; everyone is welcome but be prepared for a brisk pace.

Notes:

To keep this after-work hike fairly short and efficient (but don't worry: it won;t be outrageously fast) Just plan for a fairly steady-paced hike, no long stops for - just long enough to adjust layers, grab some snacks, water....up to summit...take some photos...and quick turnaround back to parking lot.  RMS encourages and supports an inclusive environment; we welcome all who are capable and interested in a brisk hike to join us. If you are unsure whether this hike is right for you - please send an email to the trip leaders!
