How to Get There:
Event Directions:  

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!

Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Rocky Mountain Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
