Killarney Backpacking
Hosted by The KW Backcountry Travel Meetup
Details
The organizer of this event has been banned from this MeetUp group after they created this event. This event is now effectively canceled though I am leaving this page up and allow those "stranded" a place to communicate and make plans. If this trip should happen it is unaffiliated outside of KWBC.

This trip is a 7-day/6-night hike on the Silhouette Trail in Killarney Provincial Park, entering the Trail July 7, and returning to the cars July 13. Hiking the complete trail can be challenging, but this hike is an exploration of just one end of the trail - the east end - and will be suitable for even novice hikers who have some backpacking camping experience and are in good physical condition. Camping will be on a different campsite each night, with 5-6-hour hikes between the sites. The Park limits us to 3 tents on these campsites, and up to 6 hikers - hammockers will be most welcome. This trip is especially suitable for hikers wishing an introduction to the Silhouette Trail but who are not ready to hike the full 80 km.
Trip details and a spreadsheet will be sent by email. No pets on this trip, thanks. Backcountry campsites are modestly priced, so costs will be low.
Upon posting this trip, I tell the Meetup software the trip is full, so your RSVP puts you on the Waitlist and indicates your agreement with the terms of the Co-Participant Understanding. Following your RSVP, your next step is to contact me, by Meetup message or email, to discuss your experience level and related info.
There's always someone to lend a hand on KWBT Meetup trips, but you are responsible for your own transportation, food, gear, and personal safety. You can contact me with any questions through this Meetup app.
