Saturday we will hike in 4km where we will set up camp by a babbling brook. Sunday morning we will again hike 4km completing a circular loop. On Saturday we may hike to Miserable Lake. Prior to the hike Chris will communicate with all participants to discuss gear. Suitable for adults and teens.. No dogs please.
