Description:   (under review)

Nose Hill is a large park in NW Calgary. It’s has paved, gravel, and dirt paths with lots of hills, gullies, and large flat fields of native grasses. It is mainly scattered with small boulders but there is one that is big enough to climb on (Turtle Rock). This boulder is midway up a hill and easily accessible from the 64 Ave parking lot. This boulder is relatively easy on the front side but the back has some better surfaces to provide more of a challenge (most likely all climbs will be sit starts). The back side also offers some privacy and some nice grass to sit on. Unlike most of the sandstone in Calgary, Turtle Rock is a solid boulder (maybe limestone?) with a great view of the surrounding!

Directions / Travel Info:   (under review)

Starting from Nose Hill 64 Ave parking lot on the East side of the hill. Take the main gravel trail from the parking lot going North West. The path should continue West with a long line of sandstone boulders to your left. Take the second right path going up the hill until you come to Turtle Rock halfway up the hill. You should be able to see it from the parking lot but those are the directions. Also you could just search up “Turtle Rock Nose Hill Calgary” on google maps.
