About us
Hello Everyone
Fate has frowned upon me. I have battling a knee issue for the past couple of months. At this point I feel that I must step back from the events and let the other organizers take the lead.
Perhaps fresh eyes and perspective will increase participation Hopefully I will be back and have some mountain trips etc posted in a couple of months
Happy Trails
This is for those that want to explore the trails and beyond hiking or snowshoeing. The trips will range from a few hours to a week. We will explore Saskatchewan, the Rockies and if desired beyond.
I hope many of you remember the group that went by the same name and the good times.

SKTrekking the Mantario Trail (6 days)
Tim Hortons, 3134 Clarence Avenue South, Saskatoon, SK, CAMantario Trail (Manitoba/Ontario Border)
Distance: 63 km point-to-point
Terrain: The ultimate backcountry test. Extreme wilderness trekking across granite shelves and peat bogs.
The Experience: If you want the definitive Western Shield backpacking experience, this is it. Running through the wild eastern edge of the Whiteshell, the Mantario features zero level ground. You will scramble up granite balds marked only by stone cairns, plunge down into muddy valleys, and cross untamed beaver dams. It takes most seasoned backpackers 3 to 4 days to complete.
A $100 deposit is required to demonstrate seriousness, and will be applied to shared costs. The deposit is due by the registration cut-off date and is re-fundable up to that time minus any sunk costs for reservations.
There is a full day of travel each way from Saskatoon. See map:

FYI, there has been an ongoing restoration project to re-open the trail this spring after last years wildfire. See link:
