June 27th is only days away and there’s one spot left for this event! This Adventure is a hike with Wendy Ryan to Big Sagebrush — a largely pristine and undisturbed area in Bert Riggall’s cherished Waterton Area. Bert, the legendary guide and outfitter, established his guiding business in the area and brought his many clients and friends to it in the early 1900s. As well as having considerable experience of the wild lands of SW Alberta, Wendy knows Bert’s life and achievements well. She will lead us on an old outfitter trail through some of Alberta’s finest scenery and tell stories about Bert
This is a wonderful hike with great views and remarkable flowers as well as a chance to learn some history of the area and its first guide (Bert Riggall and his family).
It will be of particular interest to plant enthusiasts as the Candidate Natural Area is home to over 300 plant species including 15 rare species such as Big Sagebrush, One-Flowered Cancer Root, Slender Bog Orchid, Large flowered Lungwort, and Shrubby Beardtongue.
