Itinerary:

 Let’s have a fun weekend enjoying the spectacular scenery hiking into Jacque Lake. Parking at the South End of Medicine Lake, we will travel along a mostly gentle, flat trail , 12-14 km to our campsite at the east end of Jacque Lake. Expect elevation gain of 90 meters. Arriving on Friday evening, we will set up camp and likely sleep soon after. Saturday’s plan will be to explore the trail to Merlin pass to the north of Jacque lake. 10 km to the pass, should provide a suitable days hike to explore a seldom used trail. If the trail is overgrown, we will adjust plans as required. Saturday supper will be a shared event, with tent mates sharing food duties. Sunday will be our pack up and depart day, likely by noon to facilitate the return trail and drive home.

Required Items to Bring:

Tent to share, sleeping bag, shared stove among your tent, necessary clothes for 2 nights in the backcountry, shared food for 1 supper ( Saturday ) among your tent, 2 lunches and breakfasts for yourself.


Recommended Items to Bring:

This is an all weather event.   Be prepared for unsettled, possibly cold weather. 


The trail distance is 12-14 km one way, you should have completed a 10 km or greater hike previous to this trip this spring /summer.  I will connect with you once registered.
