KMGuide Walk with - Michelle - "Nose Hill Park" approx. 5km


July 5, 2025

Join me Saturday July 5th at 9:00 am for a walk on the hill... 

--Details--

Explore Nose Hill Park with me. About and History: The park was created in 1980 and covers over 11 square kilometres. Nose Hill is one of the only remaining examples of the high plains which once covered our city. Ancient rivers, successive glaciers and their run-off have eroded the landscape producing the surrounding valleys and lowlands. The most recent glaciers left behind "glacial erratics". One such erratic is on the east side of Nose Hill and was once a part of Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park. The park contains significant archaeological sites, including stone circles. The hill was also a sacred place used for ceremonies and burials. European settlers began using the area in the late 1800s for farming and ranching. In the 1980s, much of the park was destined for residential development. However, vigorous citizen action saved the land for the magnificent park we have today.

DISTANCE: 5km LOOP

WALK NOTES: Some Hills, mixed terrain. Not much shade so come prepared. Bring your water, bug spray, sunscreen, and a hat! 

MEETING SPOT: Nose Hill, West Parking Lot, Shaganappi Trail NW Google Map: https://g.co/kgs/s9oDNkJ (there is a bathroom at this parking lot)

WHEN: Saturday July 5, 2025 9:00 am MT
