What previous experience prepares you for a trip of this sort?
Give an example of some scrambling you've done.
What dates work for you (8 days in a row June 27-July 10)
Will you be able to drive and where will you be coming from? (the road is rough but a 2 wheel drive car works fine). FYI I live in Whistler.

I hope to repeat a trip I did in 2020, in which we hiked from Spruce Lake West along Sheba Ridge to Lizard then Lorna Lakes, returning on the ridges north of Tyaughten Creek then back past Spruce Lake. However, I'm open to going through Warner Pass to points west of Lorna Lake or other routes. I've heard the Gun Creek trail should be open by July. If not, we can access Spruce Lake via Taylor creek, which I did last year. There are a few bits of scrambling, exposure, and bushwhacking but much of the trip is on trails. Dates are flexible between June 27-July 10. Pace will be moderate fast, hiking about 8 hours each day. This area is a stunning wilderness with great weather. We will see wildlife, wildflowers, fossils and very few people.
