4 day trip into the Lizzie lake area, with the goal of exploring, swimming, and ascending many of the Gunn scrambles in the area.
Sample plan:
- 1. Thursday morning drive up to the Lizzie Lake TH. Hike to Arrowhead lake and set up camp. The hike in is about 15k and 1500m. Tag something that afternoon (Anemone + Tabletop).
- 2. Friday hike the Arrowhead - Tynemouth traverse + Long.
- 3. Saturday hike Shields.
- 4. Sunday hike out and drive back.
This plan leaves some wiggle room: If everything goes smoothly, it’s possible to fit Caltha and/or Tundra into the schedule, or to exit on the 3rd day. If instead there is a bad weather day, this gives the possibility of making that into a shorter or rest day. Adjustments and fine details can be discussed and adapted with participants.
If joining, please be prepared with knowledge of the route and proper gear for backpacking and scrambling. More details can be found in online TRs and in Gunn’s scrambles book (p218-229)
