Please join us for some hiking at Glacier National Park (Roger’s Pass).

The plan is to stay 4 nights (tenting or cabins) and to hike 2 long and one short hike but that can be revised based on weather & bear activity.

We will head towards Rogers Pass from Kamloops (3 hrs 15 mins) on Monday, July 20th and will return to Kamloops on Friday, July 24th.

Planned Hikes:  Abbott Ridge 15.6 km (1030 m elevation change), Balu Pass (12.8 km with 780 m elevation change) and Hermit (6.4 km 820 m elevation change).

The hikes for this event are all steep and require good physical endurance and conditioning.  We will hike together as ‘one’ group as we are in ‘bear’ country so you need to be able to keep up with the group’s pace.

You are responsible to book your own campsite or cabin and getting a Parks Canada pass.   You need to book 4 nights (Mon, July 20 to Fri, July 24):

• Illecillewaet Campground – near all the trail heads and an ideal spot for a base camp. Some individuals may want to share campsites as 2 tents and 2 vehicles may be allowed per site. Reservations open Jan 29th
• Canyon Hot Springs – Cabins & Camping, hot showers and hot spring pool which is about 30 mins away – Reservations open Feb 1st.

Please send an email to both Monika & Sheila if you are interested in joining the event and let us know where you will be staying.
