CALGARY OUTDOOR ADVENTURE & TRAVEL SHOW
March 21 & 22
10 AM – 5 PM
Stampede Park, BMO Centre, Calgary, AB

The GDT wilderness experience in one of the most magnificent settings on Earth: diverse vegetation, towering snow-capped peaks, iridescent glacial waters, abundant wildlife, and panoramic vistas at every turn! But not without challenges: strenuous and hazardous hiking conditions, difficult mountain navigation, glacial stream crossings, deceptively short hiking season, remote trail exit points for resupply or emergency access, and harsh summer snowstorms, grizzly bears, and mosquitoes. The Great Divide Trail Association can help you! Discover a wealth of information at our booth. See you there!


 
GDT SPRING FLING
Thursday, April 16
6 – 10 PM
