skyclimb Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 I am heading from Vancouver to the Kananaskies lakes area just south of Banff. I will be spending a week(7 days) in the kananaskies lakes area, but the rest of the time i have open for climbing, backpacking, and mountain biking. Any suggestions on places to stop en-route towards Banff would be greatly appreciated. Nick Quote
skyclimb Posted August 7, 2003 Author Posted August 7, 2003 Yeah, not departing for a few weeks. Quote
Dru Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 check back when the flames subside and we can figure out some non-blackened spots to stop lussier hot springs is the only free hotsprings in the whole rocky mountain trench. well worth a visit if not inflamed. Quote

What about Ram Creek? I guess Dewer Creek is outside the "rocky mountain trench." What is this world coming to? Quote

Dru Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 i was told ram creek was not worth mentioning. you could always check out hotsprings of western canada 2nd edition. lussier is the home of the ice climb "the less wardens the better". no ice in summer though Quote

Bring a pair of needle nose pliers, a bag to collect blood(this will be sold), and i will supply the J.D. I am leaving Corvallis the 12th of Sept, and will be returning the 29th. If anyone has any free time i would love some company on the road. Quote
snoboy Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 4 days in the Bugs would be plab, if the weather is good. Get someone to drive while you are recovering, and hike in with lots of Vitamin I or something, then you might be able to squeeze an extra day or two out of it. Quote
Dru Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 there is more good stuff to the purcells than the bugs! you could climb snafflehound spire Quote
