Distance: 11.0km return(as per GPS) Elevation gain: 550m(as per GPS) Proper hiking boots required, sorry NO runners or sandals and NO jeans/sweat pants.(: thanks +++DRIVERS Needed+++ Just over the Highwood Pass a nice hike through meadows and forests to the three pickle jar lakes nestled in overpowering surroundings. This hike is moderate to strenuous and there's tricky footing near the pass. Grizzlies love this area. TIP: If you live in the NW you might want to meet us directly at the trailhead. PACE: Please note if you are an advanced hiker who likes to hike FAST please sign up for another hike. We will be hiking at a Moderate pace on gentler grades and at a Slower pace on steeper terrain going up = relaxed pace. If you're not sure about a hike, feel free to contact the coordinator and remember to always hike within your ability in order to be able to keep up with the group. If you HAVE NOT hiked before or recently hiked with 500M+, this hike is not for you. I want to keep my group together. If you're use to signing up for "very slowpoke pace hikes" then this hike is not for you. Please do not be in a rush to get back to
