Trip
Backpack: Elk Lake (Banff), Elaphus Peak
Lingering snow and meltwater - your feet will get wet. Ticks. Cold ground - bring a good sleeping pad. Bushwhacking.
Trip
Backpack into Banff from Ya Ha Tinda
one or two water crossings, prime grizzly habitat, bushwhacking and route finding, very long hiking days, afternoon thunderstorms. This is very remote.
Trip
New to the coordinator. Apparently the trail is very steep and has one section over slab, which may be SC5. Will likely go above the campground for better views.
