However, we are doing trail maintenance on two trials if participants want to join in.

If you intend to participate in trail maintenance, please bring sturdy boots, safety glasses (sunglasses OK), work gloves, sun, bug, and bear protection (bear spray).


Recommended Items to Bring:

Camping equipment including for cooking (stove pots), sleeping (tent, pad, sleeping bag), and hygiene. Large water jug (fill at home since the water source might be far away and site water is not great). Tarp or awning in case of rain. Camping chair.

Notes:

This camp is intended as a fun social event for YEG ACC members to connect, explore the Bighorn Backcountry and enjoy some activities together. Please do not feel obliged to participate in trail maintenance, but help is welcome. We will attempt to clear two trials including Landslide Lake from the west side and Hidden Quartzite trail. trip leaders are encouraged to use this camp as a base for other activities. Guests, children, dogs welcome at camp and on the trial.
