Description:

Whitecap as an overnight trip. This could be done as an advanced day trip but with my love of spotting wildlife I like to take things slower. Slower as in an intermediate trip (25-30km and 1400m elevation over two days). There are grizz, moose, goats and deer up there; bring your bear spray. I hear tell of a horse trail that we might not find, but there is a lot of alpine up there so the going won't be super bushy. Probably hiking over quite a few boulder fields on the second half of the hike. lots of wildflowers. bring your cameras. We'll be walking around the glaciers, no glacier gear. The glaciers are tiny anyway.

probably lots of bugs. best to bring a tent rather than tarp. We can talk about gear later. I hope that this interests someone.
