| Itinerary: |
The hiking trail that we will follow to Allstones
Lake involves an elevation gain of 600 metres
over 5.5 km. This is a CONSIDERABLE
elevation gain, and this trip is suited to
intermediate level hikers who have previous
backpacking experience, and/or extensive day-
hiking experience. You are encouraged to attend
one of the backpacking conditioning sessions
beforehand. Participants will be screened and
moved off the waiting list.
A basic map of the trail route is available here. It should take us 2-3 hours
to hike up to the lake, where we will camp for the
night. On Sunday, we will hike back to our cars
the same way that we came. The total distance we
will hike will be approximately 11 km over 2
days.
A pre trip meeting will take place June 19th,
where we can discuss carpool arrangements,
cooking/tenting partners, and any other details
needed about this trip.

| Carpool Cost: | |
The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $197.20 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Saturday, November 23, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.

equipment and tents. Please let me know whether you
have cooking utensils and a tent, and if you have
any preferences for cooking/tenting partners.
I will be booking camping sites for Friday evening at the Upper Shundra Camp Grounds approximately $15. This is optional if you would prefer to camp or stay elsewhere.
