Itinerary:

Camping at the Belly River Campground Friday and Saturday nights and hiking the Crypt Lake Trail on Saturday.

Please note that this is a fairly challenging trail, 17.2 km with a 700m elevation gain. There is also a section where you must traverse a very narrow trail along a cliff that plunges thousands of feet down. There is a cable mounted into the wall for safety. There is also a small ladder to be climbed and a short section of cave to walk through. (What she really means is crawl through Ed)

We will be travelling at a slow but steady pace with lots of opportunities for picture taking

We will take the Crypt Lake Shuttle at 10:00 AM Saturday morning and it will pick us up again at 5:30 PM.

Camp at Belly River.

Please note that camping is on a first come first serve basis. This time of year shouldn't be too busy, but we may end up having to move to the Townsite Campground.

Campsite fees are paid when we get there and boat tickets will be purchased from the ticket office on Saturday morning. The office opens at 9:00 AM.
