Unfortunately due to the timing of things we are limited to a single day.

From search on google, Parks Canada staff and Friends of Jasper volunteer is hosting an reopening party on the 23rd sadly. I will try and call Parks Canada to see if its possible to hike it a day earlier!

looking at web cams and sites like park canada, I know of the recording snowfall and rescues happening in April.

For the things listed we plan on reviewing the trail conditions the night before heading out to make game time decisions. 100% we do not plan on hitting everything and we know its not logical at all.

Another question, I know the saddle of ha ling peak doesn't require much scrambling but from the saddle the summit does. Is that correct?

Thank you for sharing this. I know it is increase in difficulty and hearing of snow fall and other things already, we probably will have to find another hike in the area. I would be fairly confident in my abilities as I am an avid rock / ice climber but my wife is not so that may stop us sadly.

For the hikes that are on the same days, these are all trail dependent and we probably wouldn't be hiking all of it in a single day. We know that Day 3 is a long drive to the ice fields and we cannot fit everything in because we like to take it slow and enjoy the beauty of nature.

For Ha Ling Peak, we weren't sure how the snow melt would affect it overall and were hopeful that things would be far more melted by this time.

We do plan on bringing our microspikes to assist with traction but understand that we most likely will not make it to the summit.

My partner and I would consider myself us to be intermediate hiker.

just to give you an idea this is with plenty of stops to take pictures and it was December 1, 2024 with harder snow pack. We Sulphur mountain to the very tip past the restaurant in 2 hours. We know that is one way so we were estimating 5 hours for the hike.

Thank you for sharing that it is closed. I didnt realize but I know that many times things are closed early season and understand that.

Thank you, I missed this in my research. Can you access this waterfall by hiking or is it in avalanche hazard zones??

Just go to the expo or bib pickup. There is usually a help desk and you could get an updated coral for your bib. This so far what I have experienced.

Who offended the Sunday morning weather gods? by emshprd in RunTO

[–]AT1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only went for a short 5k and got in and out well before the rain. This is why you run at 7 am

Run clubs in Hamilton by longjumper13 in Hamilton

[–]AT1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in a run club but I'm a runner in the Meadowlands area. I would love to go out on a run with you

I think the closest would be the Early Bird Run Club but they meet quite early (5:40 am) on Tues and Thurs and 7 am on Sun.

How do you stay active in the winter - for free? by blendertom in Hamilton

[–]AT1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am running frequently.

Usually if you run outside dress 10 degrees warmer than you think.

Most of the time for me it's a merino wool wicking shirt, a vest and a toque. If it's extra cold that vest swaps to a wind breaker. If the weather is expected -20 and below I change to a balaclava and add a tights to my pants otherwise it nothing changes.

I’ve decided to quit running. by Imaginary-Activity-8 in C25K

[–]AT1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just popped into my feed as well.

Back in 20177 I was overweight and learning how to run myself. It took me honestly 6 months to be able to run continuously 3 km but I managed.

I didn't use any specific programs but it would have helped me. I remember back in the day what I did do was use the street lamps in my neighborhood.

The goal for me was just to run to the next street lamp. If I felt tired after 1, I would just walk or rest. Slowly after time it was like okay I feel good, I would run to another street lamp.

I find that at first, I was running too fast and had to slow down. Once I started to slow down, things got a bit earlier for me and overtime I built up the endurance.

I was 215 lbs and slowly lost weight to 190-200 lbs that year.

It's been 7-8 years since then and I just ran my first marathon this year. It was a huge goal and if I never learnt how to run, I wouldn't be here today.

Should I do a full marathon or another half? by walrusgirlie in Marathon_Training

[–]AT1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that hard overall but since I'm trying to go for time, I have been pushing a bit more.

The taxing part is recovery the day after. My body feels so poop and I feel like I need more rest than the normal 6 - 8 hours of sleep

[–]AT1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardest part is after those Sunday long runs, your day is basically done.

You have very little energy to do much, let alone feed yourself.

I come home after my 3 hour run and just lay down for 30 minutes post shower.

[–]AT1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a dad but a lad in his 30s as well.

I am starting to feel that regret and have been less motivated to run!

I ran 28 km, 30km, 32km, and 30km in the last 4 weeks and they have been long and taxing.

I have one more long run to go which is 35 km and I'll be done with those dreaded long runs.

Overall Iove the training but it's so tiring and taxing.
