Itinerary:

We will drive up to Frontenac Provincial Park Friday AFTERNOON and hike in to our starting campsite at cluster 2 on Doe Lake so we can get an early start Saturday morning!

This loop is located in the most rugged part of the Park. The trail crosses Labelle Gorge and passes a series of waterfalls which drop 16 metres from Slide Lake to Buck Lake. This loop features an excellent view of Mink and Camel Lakes and the ridge and trough landscape of this area of the Park. This is my favourite part in the entire park. It's rugged, challenging an quite beautiful!

The total distance covered will be approx. 24k - Friday we'll do about 3k.5m; Saturday we'll do 13 km; Sunday we'll do about 8 km

DRIVERS: WHEN YOU SIGN UP INDICATE HOW MANY PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE

Participants should all have backcountry camping and backpacking experience. This is not a beginner event.

Participants will be required to supply their own equipment i.e. backpacks and be comfortable carrying over 40lbs of weight across rugged, tough and hilly terrain.

I will move people from the waitlist to the event list based on their level of experience in the order they signed up. Be sure to indicate describe this experience in the notes section when you sign up if you do not have a history with the club.

There will be a mandatory pre-meeting on Sunday July 6 at 5 pm at Chalker's Pub, 247 Marlee Avenue (at Glencairn station).

If there is a shortage of drivers, they will receive priority on the waitlist.
