3 day/2 night hike to Grey Owls Cabin

Please read all of the description below before signing up.

We will all get together for a day hike on Saturday May 24th to go over our packs to see who is all ready for this adventure. Must be able to hike at least 15kms /day with a pack, must have proper gear and clothing. Bring your full pack and gear on this day hike. We will make definitive plans at the day hike and each participant, that will be going on the 3 day hike, will need to pay a non refundable deposit of the $40 permit fees to secure their spot.

Everyone will be on the waitlist until we all get together 2 weeks before the event. Then I will move the ones attending to the going list.

We will spend 3 days and 2 nights on the trail.

We can plan to meet at PANP visitors center in Waskesiu townsite at 10:30 to aquire our permits. Then drive to the trailhead at Kingsmere Lake. We should be on the trail by 12 noon. We will hike approximately 12kms to Sandy Beach campsite, set up our tents and spend the night there. Saturday morning we will leave the tents setup and pack a day pack to hike approximately 16kms to and from the cabin. Then spend another night at Sandy Beach.
Sunday morning we will pack everything up and hike the 12 kms back to our vehicles.
If time permits we could stop for a group meal together in the Waskesiu townsite or in Prince Albert.
There are water sources at least every 5kms, but it must be filtered, boiled or treated. I've seen some that have not and have gotten quite ill.
We can arrange carpooling plans once we know who is all coming.
Providing no one else booked the sites before us, there are sites for 4 tents at Sandy Beach. 1 double site as well as 2 single sites. So a total of 4 tents. If we have more than 4 people joining we must discuss tent sharing options.

What to pack:

Tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag or quilt, water treating system of your choice, water bottle, cooking gear and stove, food for 3 days on the trail. Good footwear for the trail and I suggest comfy shoes for around the camp, first aid kit, bug spray, bear spray,

I have hiked this trail many times over the years, in different seasons. Weather is always a concern, so bring gear for hot and sunny, as well as cool and rainy. It can change very quickly. Gotta love Saskatchewan weather.

There will be a $13.50/ night camping fee per person as well as a $10/night per campsite fee. So budget just under $40 for total fees for the weekend.

$10 annual fee: if you haven't yet, please pay $10 annual fee. You can pay by cash or preferably, e-transfer eneudorf@hotmail.com
