Here's my base plan for this years trip (god i hope i'm not walking by myself!). So, if you guys arrive friday before dark- you can do it,it's not that far of a drive- camp out at our place. We do a quick check of supplies, get shittered, and pass out. Saturday morning head north to Courtney (city, not chick) and pick up last minute supplies. They have a walmart, crappy-tire, lots of grocery stores and a couple outdoor equipment stores (and beer stores!!). Then we head east through Cumberland and into the southeast corner of Strathcona Park where the trail head is waiting for us. If we start hiking before noon at the latest (prefer 10 or 11), we should get to the camp by dinner, then have plenty of light to set up our tents. After breakfast on sunday we can spend the day exploring the glacier and looking for some of the nearby lakes like Mirren or Memory. Depending on time, energy, and/or possible injury (50' slide down a glacier, Ains?) we may shoot for Aureole Icefield or Cliffe Glacier. Monday is limp home day. Whatcha think?
