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
