Calgary Walk: West Nose Creek / Confluence Park, NW

Description:

We’ll follow the pathways alongside the creek meanders through multiple curves in the valley bottom. The valley where we’ll walk was forged by runoff from the last glaciation and is therefore considerably younger than the Bow and Elbow river valleys. In certain areas, the creek has been carved through the bedrock. Outcroppings of the bedrock, known as the Porcupine Hills Formation are exposed along the north bank. We will check see “Split Rock”, the most famous glacial erratic in Calgary, along the north bank. The erratic was once part of Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park.
