Relaxed pace Backpacking Trip to Forks and Turbine Canyon - 4 nights

This is a four night backpacking trip leaving from the North Interlakes Day Use Area. We will hike together as a close group at a relaxed pace to enjoy nature.

Once you are accepted on the trip, you will have to book your own campsite and send me a screenshot of your permit.

On Monday, we will hike approx. 8km to Forks Campground and set up for the night. We may be allowed a campfire. On Tuesday, we will set off about 10am and hike another 8km to Turbine Canyon. We will camp Tuesday and Wednesday nights there. There are no campfires allowed. On Wednesday, we will do a day hike, TBD, starting anout 10am. On Thursday, we will pack up and leave the campsite about 10am, to hike back to Forks for the night. On Friday, we will pack up and head out about 10am to return to the North Interlakes Day Use Area. We will hike together at a relaxed pace to enjoy the summer in nature.

My well behaved, experienced, German Shepherd will be on this trip (on a leash, in my tent).

Please no side or partial trips or shadow bookings (not getting accepted on the trip, but booking the same nights at the campground).

Everyone must have their own gear, have backpacking experience, and agree to follow all Alberta Parks and Slow and Steady regulations, including leave no trace.

There is a waitlist for this event. To be accepted you must agree to follow the rules and have hiked with me at least twice before (so I know if you are a good fit with the group). Once you are accepted on the trip, you will need to book your own campsite and send me a screenshot of your permit.

Must have positive attitude and answer the questions. Passive Aggressive behaviour not tolerated. I know I am being strict on the rules, but unfortunately this is based on negative past experiences organizing these trips. The point is for everyone to have fun and enjoy nature, we don't need any unnecessary drama or stress. I hope you understand.

PLEASE DON'T BOOK YOUR SITE UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED OFF THE WAITLIST.
