Itinerary:

We'll head up to Frontenac Saturday morning and hike up to camp cluster #4 via the Dedication Trail, where we will set up camp on Big Salmon Lake. Sunday, we'll take the trail along Big Salmon Lake, hook up with the corridor trail back to the cars and head home Sunday afternoon. We should be back in Toronto mid-late Sunday afternoon. The total distance is approximately 10 km each day.

This trip is great for people who have backpacked before, but want to experience colder weather before winter backpacking, or experienced hikers with access to appropriate gear who want to try backpacking. While this trip is moderate from a mileage perspective, participants must demonstrate hiking experience and ability to carry a loaded backpack

If you do not have a history with the club, please note your past experience IN DETAIL in the notes section when you sign up. You will be moved to the wait list or removed from the trip if this step is not completed.

There will be no pre-meeting, and all planning and coordination will be done via email. Please make sure you have regular email access and can respond in a timely manner, or you will be dropped from the trip.

Note the early start - we'll be leaving Saturday morning, and Frontenac is approximately a 3.5 hr drive away. This will give us plenty of time for hiking, and we'll aim to be back for a good time Sunday evening. The subway starts running at 6 AM on Saturdays. If you are coming to the carpool by TTC, please go to ttc.ca to plan accordingly.
