Northover Ridge in Kananaskis Country is a typically 3 day hike through some of the most scenic terrain in Kananaskis Country in Alberta. Being guys we decided it would be a good idea to attempt this in one day. I figured the 10 days of Stampede partying was perfect training for a 40ish km hike/climb. At the least it would enable us to sweat out some of the beer that still lingered in our bloodstream. Our plan is to pack light and move fast, many people have completed this in one day, so I’m expecting the same.
Our route is roughly mapped out below:
Northover Ridge Path heading towards 3Isle then over the ridge
There have been a number of Bear warnings for the area, so along with some basic survival gear we’ll be packing some bear spray. We anticipate a 12-15 hour round trip, I’ll be bringing the Spot which will be our only method of communication.
