Forgetmenot Ridge is a high ridge on the south side of the Elbow River near the confluence of the Big Elbow and the Little Elbow. It is a stiff climb to the top of the ridge but the views from the top are extraordinary, spectacular in each direction. The ridge itself is a broad tundra-like plateau with steep sides. The hike ascends the NW side and, once on top, continues along the ridge to a viewpoint on the east side.

Forgetmenot Ridge is only an hour’s drive from Calgary

Things To be Aware Of

The climb up the side of the ridge is by way of a clear path but it is steep (700 metres over a relatively short distance). Participants need to be comfortable with this.

The pace for the hike will be moderate.

The area has unpredictable weather, be prepared for the possibility of strong winds and/or heavy rain.

The meeting place will be at the trailhead and its location will be provided to registrants a few days before the event.

Contact the coordinator if you wish to car pool to the meeting place
