Dust off your boots, pack your sense of adventure (and maybe some bug spray), because the Rainbow Ramblers are heading to the alpine! We’re heading out for an overnight escape to the delightfully rustic Mountain Lake Hut, and you’re officially invited.

By day, we’ll be playing a game of "choose your own summit adventure" with potential scrambles up Ben Lomond, Mt. Sheer, and/or Red Mountain (depending on the skill level of the group). By afternoon, we might just test our bravery with a crisp alpine swim to rinse off the trail sweat. Whether you’re in it for the rocky peaks, the cozy hut vibes, or just some top-tier company under the stars, this is one weekend you won't want to miss. Who's in?

The tentative plan is to drive up the Furry Creek FSR to the trailhead to the Mountain Lake Hut, saving us valuable time and avoiding the long slog.

Bookings for your spot in the hut can be made here. Only $10/night for BCMC members.

This trip is organized by Rainbow Ramblers, the 2SLGBTQIA+ affinity group of the BC Mountaineering Club. We create a welcoming space for 2SLGBTQIA+ members and allies to connect, explore the outdoors, and support one another. Our trips are designed to be inclusive, respectful, and community-minded — with attention to accessibility and diverse experiences. Whether you’re a regular club member or new to BCMC, you’re warmly invited to join us! Read more about this affinity group here.

** We encourage allies to invite and bring the 2SLGBTQIA+ people in their lives to this event. **

2SLGBTQIA+* = Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, agender, asexual. Plus (+) represents other gender and sexual identities not listed in the acronym.
