Info Session | Backpacking in Banff over Labor Day Weekend [Cost-Share Trip]

I'm planning a backpacking trip to the Banff area over Labor day and the following week (Sat Aug 31st - Sun Sept 8th).

Route is TBD for now, depending on permits, which should be resolved by early June. The routes I have in mind are moderate ones in the range of 4-5 nights covering about 10 miles and ~2.5k' -/+ a day.

If you are interested, RSVP and join the info session. Contact me (Andre) if you have any questions.

Extensive backpacking experience is not required, but some prior backpacking experience is needed.

Estimated Expenses:

• Permits will be about $50/pp and there maybe some shared campsite costs depending on the schedule (<$50/pp)
• Car rental, gas, bear spray, and park entrance fees (to be shared evenly) will likely run a few hundred per person
• You are responsible for all your own food, gear, airfare to Calgary, hotels, etc

Likely Schedule:

• Saturday, Aug 31st: Fly to Calgary
• Sun: Driving, day hike; Car camp
• Mon-Fri: Backpacking; Car camping Friday night
• Sat: Free day; End in Calgary
• Sun: Fly back
