LAKE O’HARA AREA, 3-DAYS OF AWESOME HIKING, 2 NIGHTS IN THE ELIZABETH PARKER HUT
The Lake O'Hara area is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We will get to enjoy the hut and the company of
other nature lovers who will be there that
weekend.
We will be carpooling in groups based on the area of town you live in and each group will go in a single vehicle.
If we are able to do some scrambling, please bring your helmet is it will be mandatory to participate in any scrambling hikes in the area.. Though there isn’t much exposure, the helmet is to keep us safe from rock-fall.
Please have your bear spray in an accessible
place (e.g. on a holster or pant pocket, and
not in the bottom of the backpack).
If you have questions send me an email or call
me.

Carpool Cost: | Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $114.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.30, effective Thursday, March 28, 2024). This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle. | ||||||

Cost Includes: | Cost of $110.00 is approximated and covers 2 night’s hut rental and 2 night's backcountry wilderness passes. Carpool cost and COC donation for regular members is not included in the $110.00. If you hold a valid ACC & Annual Backcountry Wildnerness Pass on Mar 15, 2018 (and a valid Annual Backcountry Wildnerness pass for May 19-21, 2018) you will receive a reduction of approximately $40-45.00 from the $110.00 cost. I have already paid the deposit to ACC to secure the 14 spots and will be sending in the remainder due on Mar 15, 2018 with all the ACC membership numbers and expiry dates, as well as all Backcountry Wilderness Pass numbers and expiry dates. Once full payment has been made to ACC, there will be no refunds or changes allowed through ACC. Parks Canada can check for valid Backcountry Wilderness passes when we enter the Lake O'Hara region or during the weekend so it is imperative you have this information on hand at all times during the weekend. | ||||||
