Chickakoo Hike With Geocaching Buddies

I’ve always just loved hiking in the Chickakoo Lake Recreation Area. There’s is a great mix of tree species that line both the well-travelled main trails and the less-travelled “goat tracks”. This was a solo geocaching hike and I found all but one of the caches I looked for today.

Four of us hiked south from the UofA Access Road gate all the way down Deadfall Alley today.

It’s March and the ice between islands on Ministik Lake can still be walked on. Or can it? Yikes! There’s standing water on a lot of it!
