| Itinerary: |
|
We'll drive from Calgary to the Bourgeau Lake parking lot and hopefully start hiking by 8:30am. The hike to the lake is about 7 kms long and has an elevation gain of 710 mts. From the lake the elevation gain to the summit is about 790 mts. Expect early winter conditions higher up in the alpine so make sure you have enough layers to survive up there for the duration of the trip.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
*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 Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
