Winter Backpacking Trip 2.0, Algonquin Park, Maggie Lake
Hosted by The KW Backcountry Travel Meetup
Details
This is more less identical to the previous trip two weeks ago (hence the 2.0). Leave Algonquin Park's, Western Uplands Backpacking Trail parking lot (off of Hwy 60) at 8 am, Saturday, Jan. 29. Hike for approximately 12 km to Maggie Lake. Setup camp for the night. Return on Sunday.
All attendees need to register for a backcountry permit by phone because we set out before the park office opens Saturday. The weather forecast for Huntsville this weekend shows lows of -21C Saturday and - 29C Sunday.
Logistics: Last time three of us headed north Friday night in two cars and split a room ($60 + tax) at the Huntsville's EconoLodge. However you get there, the critical logistic is the 8 am departure when the snowshoes hit the trail.
