Battleship Lake Hike

Kate Pierce, the guide for the Monday Aug. 1 Level 1 Hike to Battleship Lake, has some advice for participants, having just checked out the conditions. "It is quite doable... but really important that people have boots with good tread and a hiking pole . The snow is wet and slushy as well as hard packed and icy in places so one could be sinking in at least 6 inches ... it's probably still 50% snow and quite deep in places. "

The Centre has a few hiking poles available to borrow. Kate adds: "It will be SLOW PACE ... 3 hours is a good estimate. People should have water and possibly a snack." Perhaps the most important note: "The biffy is open and there is toilet paper!"
