Itinerary: | |||||||
This will be a random backcountry overnight
camp. We'll be backpacking in to the waters of
Loomis Lake surrounded with beautiful views of
the
surrounding mountains. There will be one
shallow river
crossing and a few smaller creek crossings. Be
prepared for 400m of
climbing in the last 2km. If we
get there early, there are options to do side
trips. I haven't been to the
area before so the conditions are unknown at
this time and
allow time for route finding and maybe
bushwhacking involved. Adventures R
Us! Distance: 12 km one way Elevation: 700m gain Expect about 5 - 6 hours to hike in give or take As we will be camping in a remote wilderness area, we will be practicing Leave no Trace principles. Pack out what we pack in. We may or may not have a fire as the wood in the area could be scarce or there could be a fire ban. Plus this is Grizzly country so food prep awareness is important. Itinerary: SUNDAY – Early morning drive out to the trail head, haul in to the site, chill for a bit, explore the local area. Have dinner and do a miniature potluck. Main meal is your own but bring a light snack to share. Note - having a campfire may not happen so don't count on it, be prepared. If we have time we can explore and climb to the pass or a hill or two MONDAY - After a morning breakfast hike out and head back. Do not be in rush to get back to Calgary, we'll be back late as we'll stop over in a town somewhere for refreshments depending what on time we get out.
Note:
Gear:
You will need your own backpacking gear. Be
prepared to be self-sufficient.
See link for personal backpacking gear if you
are new to this, but lighter
is more. Contact me if you have not backpacked
before.
