Itinerary:

Are you ready for another adventure?

The challenge on this adventure will be to covering the planned distance of ~25km and surviving the cold November night. I expect a light dusting of snow at this time of the year. But there might be more. So come prepared.

The focus will be on light weight backpacking techniques. So no tents would be the goal. We'll be using tarp shelters. Winter weight sleeping bag and pad. Cooking over the open fire at night. Dress in layers. Hiking boots with icers (if trails are bare) and insulated boots/snowshoes (if deep snow covered).

This trip is open to experienced hikers with overnight late fall early winter camping experience. You need to be able to be confortable bushwhacking on this adventure. You need to be able to hike on trails at around 4-5 km/hr and bushwhack at 2.5 km/hr.

Pre-trip details will be worked out via email and phone calls.
