mountain-sepp Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hi there, I was wondering if anybody knows where to find or has gps coordinates of the route for the Wapta Traverse. We do the following direction: - peyto hut - balfour hut - scott duncan hut I am not looking for the hut coordinates, I have those. I am just wondering if anybody has a more detailed route. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-spotter Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Carrying a ham half way and then eating it sounds like a better idea to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The ham only made it as far as the Bow Hut, where it became Easter dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I've heard the new Bow hut is nice. The last time I was there (80s) it was a nasty quonset hut. We were going to traverse the Wapta, but instead spent 3 days sitting in it and doing short ski runs to stay warm. We then drove to Lake Louise and had a in a nice warm bar.
