Distance:~15km Elevation gain: ~510m Proper hiking gear (including boots, icers/microspikes, toque, mitts, layers, etc.) are required. No runners, jeans, sweatpants or cotton. The James Walker Route starts as part of the Sawmill - Chester trail network, heads up along James Walker Creek and ends at an unnamed lake. We will explore to see how far we can go. Some light bushwhacking may be required as the trail is quite faint as soon as you get off the ski trails (Kathy & Craig Copeland describe the trail as "a psycho path" with a normal-looking trailhead, followed by a couple of hours in the trees before fully enjoying the rock slabs, tarns, and spectacular views of the 3,000m peaks).
