Athabasca Saturday morning (via the Silverhorn Route) and then drive back to Calgary Saturday afternoon/evening.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Just east of Elbow/56 Ave intersection. My house is on the north side of 56 Ave. I'm the NE unit of the four-plex (facing the back alley).

Carpool Location:   Meet at my place
Carpool Directions:   Meet at my place (address above) and leave additional vehicles on 56 Ave.

Notes:
Camping cost is about $25/night and I believe you can only fit one tent per site so each of you will need to bring $25 and your own tent unless you arrange to stay with someone else.

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.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
