This trip is suited to those with no or beginning backpacking experience. You will be expected to share a tent as campsites are limited. I have booked 4 campsites, with 8 people. This area is known for beautiful wildflowers and this is the reason I have chosen this campsite. Bring your camera, as we will be setting up camp and enjoying the view. I plan on taking lots of photos. Depending on the interest after setting up camp we may hike to nearby lakes or the ridge above Hidden Lake. Also dependent of the interest of the group we may get up for the sunrise as well.

Mosquitoes may be abundant and nasty this time of year. It is recommended to bring a mosquito suit

Drivers will be needed. I live in Canmore and will be organizing the carpool based on who signs up. If you tell me you can drive I rely on this information to be accurate!!

PAYMENT NOTE & INSTRUCTIONS:
Payment is due immediately upon registration. Should payment information not be received within 3 days of registration you will be moved off the event and onto the waitlist.
