We will be hiking where ski trails were created but then the largest fire, in recent history, in the Nisbet forest occurred: the “North Cabin Fire” of 1989. The fire started in the MacDowall Block, and jumped the North Saskatchewan River. One person lost his life, 17,000 hectares of forest burned, and one house was destroyed. Now, we can witness the amazing re-growth of nature!
