Day 1: Elevation gain 450M, hike 8.5km (optional afternoon scrambling) Day 2: Elevation loss 200M, gain 200M, hike 9km (optional afternoon scrambling) Day 3: Elevation loss 450M, hike 8.5km *** THIS IS GOOD TRIP FOR FIT HIKERS WANTING TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND EXPERIENCE BACKCOUNTRY HUTS *** I have booked 24 spots at ACC’s Bow Hut for 2 nights. We will hike in with sleeping bags, clothes, and food and spend three days and two nights surrounded by incredible scenery. Bow Hut is one of four ACC huts on the Wapta Icefields. In the summer it can be reached without much technical skill. In the shoulder season it can be trickier. Bow Hut is perched high on a cliff below Bow Glacier. The approach is just a steep hike. I go there every summer and know the hike and approach well. Email me if you have questions. Bow Hut has a fully equipped kitchen. We don’t have to carry any cooking implements or utensils. We will spend the afternoons scrambling or socializing (depending on what people want to do). At night we can sit by the fire, do some photography, play board games, etc. I will keep everyone on the waiting list until spots are confirmed via payment. PLEASE DO NOT PAY THE COC OR ACC. I have paid the booking fees and made reservations on my credit card and will pay ACC the full amount. The cost is ~$50 per person per night + park pass (or $) + carpool cost. It will be $10 per night less if you are an ACC member (I will need your membership # to get member rates from ACC). It will be ~$10 per night less if you have a Parks Canada backcountry annual pass. | |||||||
