Trip Description

This is a very popular area, but not to those peaks: Demon peak is very easy to get to, but then there is a very interesting ridge that has lots of trail-finding and bushwhacking which leads to the Dreadnought peak. You must be comfortable with off-trail hiking:)

From there we would try to find a way down to Watersprite lake and pickup the regular trail back to the car.

Do NOT underestimate this trip as with over 20km and 1800m elevation gain in total, this would be a long day at around 10h or so.

There is a bit of scrambling involved but very mild. If you are afraid of heights, don't join the trip.

The road should be drivable in any AWD car. Please mention what type of car do you have.

Please be considerate and do not sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are in very good physical condition. 

Will be moving at a moderate-fast pace. Not for slow people, sorry.

MUST have :

  • Food and water for the whole day
  • Headlamp with fresh batteries!
  • First aid kit!
  • Bear spray
  • Hiking poles are optional but highly recommended!
  • Helmet is mandatory for the peak portion
Distance: 20-22km Elevation Gain: 1800m Summit area 1994m Estimated Time: 9-11hrs
