The Northern Flicker Way: Sage Hill to Zoo Station is the third book in the Calgary long distance walking series of books. This book describes a 156 km route that begins in Sage Hill and finishes at Zoo Station. The route is divided into 13 sections or walk of reasonable length that start and finish near bus stops. The Northern Flicker Way is more than just a walking route. The book describes a journey through the city. The route features a series of connected walks that gradually take you on a long distance walk through Calgary. Urban long distance walking provides a different experience than rural long distance walks. The Northern Flicker Way connects parks and green spaces, ponds and wetlands, coulees and ravines, escarpments and bluffs, and old and new communities.
