| Itinerary: |
|
Start will be from Nigel Pass Trail head. Detailed Itinerary is in the table below. The location of the campsite will be in White Goad Wilderness Area (i.e. outside of National Parks). Everyone will require to get a Alberta Public Lands Camping Pass. alberta.ca
The campsite is NOT a organized site. That means, for a group of 8, we will have to explore an appropriate place to camp that has water and is outside the National Park area. Our goal will be to set up a campsite that has good access to water along the Cataract Creek in the valley that becomes our base for the next 3 days. From here we will attempt Scramble to the summits of Mount Willis and Mount Stewart.
