This is remote wilderness backcountry
backpack.
The trail via the Alexandra and Castleguard
Rivers is a tough slog. But those who make it
there will
never forget this remarkable region.Finding
the
way on this remote route, unmaintained track
in
Banff Park’s northern reaches is not a walk
in
the park. There will be significant amounts
of
route
finding, deadfall clambering, bushwhacking,
numerous unbridged creek crossings and one
deeper
river
crossing wih likely fast moving
water. The route in and the meadows itself
has
been
described as a bear highway, so be prepared.
We
might even peek at a glacier depending on the
final
plan.
This trip is best suited to experienced
backpackers only.
