How to Get There:
Event Directions:  

Marmot Meadows is a walk-in campground located within Whistlers campground, west side of Highway 93, 1.8 km south of Hwy 16. Check in at the main kiosk, and say you are here with the Friends of Jasper.

 

Notes:

4 hours of trail maintenance involves some hiking, bending and throwing brush. Please ensure that you have enough fitness, food and water to complete the activity. Children are welcome to participate, but must be supervised by their parent/guardian. The rest of Saturday and Sunday are open for other ACC events (please sign up separately) or self-directed activities. 



Cancellations accepted up to June 2nd. Attendance is only required for the trail maintenance session. Camping, and participation in other activities is not required.


*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Edmonton Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
