Planned Itinerary

Day 1:
Today is for the pre-trip meeting only. Our meeting will take place in person at 7pm in Canmore, AB. Location TBD. We will make sure everyone has everything they need, introduce the group, laugh lots, and distribute the group gear. Virtual attendance is also an option.
-
Day 2:We'll wake up full of energy and drive to the trailhead. Strapping on our snowshoes we'll travel about 6km into our campground for the night. We will make a fire for us to warm up next to! Tents will be set up, sleeping bags fluffed, and the afternoon will be full of snowmen and snowball fights...I guess we'll squeeze in some instruction too!
-
Day 3:Amazing! You just spent the night in a tent...in the WINTER! Celebrate your success and warm your body with hot chocolate. With the rising sun pack up your gear and travel the short distance back to the hut and our cars. We'll spend sometime in the hut chatting about our experience and what we learned and if the group is up for it we will head out on a snowshoe to explore the area. After the snowshoe we'll drive back to Canmore, Alberta and celebrate our success as a group!
Level of Difficulty
This trip is designed to help women explore the world of winter camping. No previous experience is necessary but a general fitness level is needed. You will need to carry your personal gear plus food and water for a short distance each day; approximately 6km.
Lets learn together and have some laughs!
