Sheep River Winter Hike

Alberta Wilderness Association
Feb 16 2011 - 7:00am

Distance: 6 - 8 km

The winter snow contains many stories.  Animals (and some birds) leave their tracks, the action of the wind is recorded and life-giving water is stored to be released with the return of spring.  Winter hiking!  Why not?
