Itinerary: | |||||||
This will be a random backcountry very
lightweight (sub 35lbs) overnight camp. If you
want to learn/try out very lightweight
backpacking, this will be a good one as we
will
be moving briskly. We'll be
backpacking in to the waters of Lake of Horns
surrounded with beautiful views of the
surrounding mountains. There will be one
shallow river crossing and a few smaller creek
crossings. Given the rains,
the
river may be higher than usual. Bring your
water crossing shoes. We will need to go
up
the headwall to the lake at the end of the
trail, this is easy scramble, however
there is still some exposure.
Distance: 13.5 km one way
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.
