Description
Join me on an exploraton hike in the Queen Elizaabeth II WIldlands Provincial Park
This is an advanced hike!
MANDATORY EQUIPMENT: Hiking boots, trail crampons, snowshoes and headlamps. DO NOT show up without these items, you will NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.
At the trailhead we will evaluate conditions and determine whether we will wear, carry or leave our snowshoes. Hiking poles and gaitors are highly recommended. They will come in handy when crossing over beaver dams.
We'll spend 6-8 hrs hiking 10-15 km, depending upon the conditions and the groups ability, mostly off the trail over rugged topography, We'll explore forests, rock barrens and views. Our feet may get a little wet as we navigate our way around and over ponds (beaver dam), creeks (rocks, logs), lakes (We will NOT be travelling on ice) and beaver dams. There will be lots of elevation change and challenges.
Bring snacks, lunch, water.
Check the weather in advance and dress accordingly in layers.
There will be no dropouts and no dogs.
Registered participants are to arrive 15 minutes prior to the hike for briefing
Space is limited.
