| Itinerary: |
|
Mt. Chester is an easy/moderate scramble with approximately 1,200m of elevation gain and 12km of round trip distance.
If the weather will be hot an early start and early finish will be the goal for the day. A dip in Chester Lake on the way down will definitely be recommended!

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.
