TRIP IS FULL. ATTENDANCE CAPPED DUE TO LOGISTICS. Thank you

This trip replaces a Skihist trip (postponed to next summer), and will be about as long but without the major bushwhacking. We'll need a capable 4x4 (ideally 2) to access the FSR as far up as possible. Access will be via Bralorne, turning off the Hurley as we get to Gold Bridge, then doubling back (better road conditions vs the shorter, slower alternative). Hopefully we can drive to the end of the access road by Bralorne Friday night and car camp. We should be back in the city Monday night (a holiday). I estimate a round trip of roughly 30 kms, assuming road access similar to last summer. Cumulative gain is over 2,000m.

Forecast appears good at the moment, and we should be able to summit Mt McGillivray too. Recommend we have a min group size of 4, with 6 or possibly more working too. Everyone should bring bear spray as a precaution.
