Itinerary:

I booked 2 separate camp spots at Three Isle Lake Friday Sept 25 and Saturday Sept 26.  Total cost is $30 per person.  The rough plan:

Friday: Meet up in Calgary (time TBD based on when people can get off work) and carpool to the Upper Lake parking lot. Hike in to 3 Isle Lake campground in the afternoon or early evening.  11.5 km and 600 m gain, should take 3-4h.  It is possible to mountain bike the first 4 km, making for a cruisey bike ride back to the car on Sunday!

Saturday: Scramble Offender Mtn, Mt McHarg + Mt Worthington.  All are easy scrambles so should be okay if they are a bit snowy.  12 km return with 1,000 m elevation gain from 3 Isle Lake.  It may also be possible to traverse over to South Kananaskis Peak from Mt McHarg if we wanted.

Sunday: Scramble either South Kananaskis Pass Peak or Surprise Station above the campground before heading back to the car.

If I don't know you, please send me an intro email to brendan714@gmail.com describing your scrambling experience and whether you've done some similar types of trips.
