So, Joel, Ainsley & I got together last night and made some corporate decisions;
Ainsley & Ang are going to do all of the shopping for the food etc and we will split the costs and divide it up to haul into the campsite. This will make it alot easier when it comes to cooking for everyone, rather than 4 or more different meals all the time, we can all eat the same meal together. Suggestions for meals should be posted here sooner than later
From Kelowna we are planning on taking 2 (Joel & Ainsley)vehicles on the Friday (July 31st) morning, stopping at Horseshoe bay to pick up Morty along the way from Van towards Squamish. Of course we are assuming Jon and Jeremy will make it into Kelowna Thursday night. 6 hour drive to the parking lot with a possible 1/2 hour or more stop when we are picking Morty up. Morty can you check into ferry schedules and let us know what works, sometime around 11:00 AM is our thought for now
Pack light as the hike into the camp site is just over 11 km, 1 1/2 times what Kokanee was. We need to plan for 5 - 6 hours hike in. Depending on how many breaks we take etc
We are looking at 4 tents, I will bring mine, Ainsley says he will bring his smaller one, Joel, Jeremy and Morty all have so lets figure who is bringing a tent.
If we can find some info on trails to Garibaldi Peak that will be the goal for Saturday, Diamonhead on Sunday and break camp Monday
Feedback would be great, sooner than later
Cheers
Rob

Campsite is 11 km, how does that compare to the hike up to Abbott Ridge? I don't remember how long that was....
ReplyDeletebtw, I have a one man tent.
abbott Ridge was 5 KM up
ReplyDeleteAre we camping at Elfin Lakes? The Vanc Trail Review says 22km to Elfin. Only 600m of elevation change, where Abbott was over 1000m,
ReplyDeleteso that will be a lot flatter of a hike.
Elfin is 11 KM up. 22 round, abbott was a 1000? right on
