Today I did a hike in Hawrelak Park with the Fit and Active 55 Plus Meet Up group. We started from the Pavilion and walked to the foot bridge across the North Saskatchewan River on the foot bridge. Then we walked generally north in the 'off leash dog walking area' to the first coulee. We walked up that coulee trail a ways and then turned back. The foot bridge is clear of snow but most trails are not. There is considerable slush on the trails. Also welt water is starting to form into ponds which necessitate detoring. That said though walking is not particularly difficult. The branch of the trail up the coulee is currently covered in one place by a foot or so of ice. The surface of the ice is slushing enough though to make it not very slippery and thus walkable. Observed crows, gulls, canada geese and even a pair of Mallard ducks.
This walk was about 5.5 km and took about 1hr and 20 min to complete.
