Trip Description

SATURDAY: 8am meetup. Drive-up Squamish river valley to trailhead at 850m. Follow flagged trail to pass at 1400m with plan to camp around there. Leave packs at pass, and start checking out best route to continue flagging route down to open alpine area below Pemberton Icefield. 

SUNDAY: Pack up gear and head down route to glacier edge (1300m), flagging route where necessary. Waterfalls along the way. Climb up to subalpine area (1550m) above toe of glacier to camp in meadows (lakes, views of Little Ring Peak and icefield).

MONDAY: Head out through Grizzly Gully and up around east shoulder of Little Ring Peak (can check out if feasible to summit Little Ring Peak (2147m). Descend south side of Little Ring Peak back to trailhead, planning to flag this route as well, as flagging seems to be strangely absent.
