We are planning to hike around Emerald Lake (~5K) with our two kids 6 & 3. This means a slow pace and lots of encouragement to keep going + stints of carrying, frequent bathroom and snack breaks etc. etc. If you're looking to take your kiddos on an outing like this, let's join forces! More kiddos usually means more motivation on their part. Meeting time is approximate. We are staying at LL hostel so not driving from Calgary.
Description: Pleasant gravel trail along the shore of Emerald Lake, surrounded by mountain and glacier views. Come prepared for muddy and rooty conditions along the east side of the loop.
Distance (one way): 5.2 km loop Estimated time (return): 2 hours Elevation gain: minimal | Elevation loss: minimal
Trailhead: Emerald Lake parking lot, 10 km west of Field, B.C. via Trans-Canada Highway and Emerald Lake Road. Alternatively, park at the Burgess Pass trailhead at the unsigned turnoff on Trans-Canada Highway 1.5 km east of Field, B.C.
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.
