About the event
Come join SCPOA friends on Saturday, May 10, 2025 for a fun hike outing starting at Smith Lake Parking lot (HWY 93 S Overpass). We will meet at 9:45 AM outside the Pulse Cafe at The Malcolm Hotel. Departure time is 10:00 AM sharp, so please be on time.
The drive to the trailhead is along HWY 1 West to HWY 93 South Overpass (40 mins). Take the HWY 93 overpass south, then take the second east turn-off east to Smith Lake (first turn-off heads you back east to Calgary). We typically travel in informally arranged car pools, so if you were planning to attend, please feel free to arrange your ride with fellow SCPOA members also attending the activity.
The hike starts at the parking lot and heads east through the trees 0.8 km to a small lake named Copper Lake. We'll double back to tee, and head 2.0…
