Wind Ridge

Distance
14 km
Elevation gain
780 m
Difficulty
3 · Mountain Running

Another of these local favourites that don't require much driving at all. Wind Ridge is pretty high up on the "views/effort" scale. A few flat and rolling kilometres lead to a sustained climb up to an exposed ridge (Wind Ridge) that provides some amazing views of the Lougheed-Allan-Pigeon mountain area. Wind Ridge is a great Summer evening run if you feel like getting high up on something new! 

Wear a pair of grippy shoes for that one, the way up and down the ridge (km 4 to 8) can be dusty and slippery.

Bottom line

a great Summer evening run if you feel like getting high up on something new!
