Description
A backpack to Battle Mountain with a basecamp at Fight Lake
- Day 1 – meet to carpool (at 9:00), then drive to the Battle Mountain trailhead in Wells Gray
- drivers – Doug and Toomas
- the access road requires high clearance and if the road is too rough, we may have to hike the final part
- hike 8.5+ km to Fight Lake and set up camp
- Day 2 – a longer day hike to the summits of Battle Mountain and back (part of the Summer Summit Series)
- camp overnight at Fight Lake
- Day 3 – hike out
- (one option to overnight at Philip Lake and hike Table Mountain which adds an extra day)
- the leader has done this hike, but not for a long time
- camping will be at a primitive but designated campsite, so backpackers have to have the right equipment (see the Essentials list)
- this is a Requires Leader Registration Event so expressions of interests are made by emailing the leader
- the posted dates are flexible and we can decide the final days as a group
