What you can expect

This isn't a “walk in the park”, it's a full point-to-point expedition, meaning we start at one trailhead and hike all the way across to another!

We will travel from Cameron Lake through wildflower-filled meadows to stunning high-elevation lakes and sweeping mountain views. Along the way, your guide will share insights into the area’s unique geology, plants, and wildlife.

Rated moderate to difficult, this is a big day on your feet. You'll tackle a 700 m (2,300 ft) elevation gain, but the grand finale is a massive 1,200 m (4,000 ft) scenic descent into town. It requires endurance, but the backcountry secrets you'll discover are absolutely worth it. And of course, bragging rights over dinner.

Route: 20 km (Point-to-Point)
