Flight of the Golden Eagle Interpretive Hike (Wasootch Trail)
Overview
Since time immemorial, a mass migration has taken place in the skies over our Rocky Mountains. Bi-annually the Golden Eagle migration occurs in our front ranges, a 11,000 year route that takes these raptors from their northern breeding sites to their southern wintering grounds. Join The Path Less Taken on a professionally guided interpretive hike that will look at this amazing migration all while travelling at the cruising level of a Golden Eagle.
This 7.3 km day hike starts with a steep ascent followed by the undulating ridge line of Wasootch. This route will have about 212 m of elevation gain and requires a moderate level of fitness. Participants will be given hiking spikes and a pole if needed.
Flight of the Golden Eagle Interpretive Hike is great mix of learning and adventure!
