Description
Let’s explore on this advanced hike!
We'll spend 6-8 hrs hiking 14 km, on and off the trail over rugged topography. Time and distance parameters will be flexible based upon the conditions and the group’s ability. We'll pass through forests, travel over rock barrens and view amazing landscapes. Bring extra socks as our feet may get a little wet as we navigate our way around lakes (we will not be travelling on ice), over ponds (we will cross beaver dams), and creeks (jumping across, travelling over rocks and logs), There will be lots of elevation change and challenges.
Hiking boots, trail crampons, snowshoes and headlamps are MANDATORY. DO NOT show up without these items, you will not be allowed to participate. At the trailhead we will evaluate conditions and determine whether we will wear, carry (bring paracord, bungie cord(s) or your preferred strapping mechanism) or leave behind our snowshoes. Hiking poles and gaiters are highly recommended.
Bring lunch, snacks and water, or a favorite beverage. 2L recommended.
Check the weather in advance and dress in layers accordingly.
There will be no dropouts, and no dogs allowed.
Registered participants are to arrive 15 minutes prior to the hike to be briefed.
