SUMMARY:Floe Lake Hike (& Swim?)
DESCRIPTION:Slow and Steady Hikers\n**NOTE:**\n**Departure Time From Petrocan: 06:36 am**\n**Arrival Time @ Trailhead**: **~08:15 am**\n**GROUP SIZE:** max 10\n**TRIP DESCRIPTION:**\n**Rating:** OT5 (similar to Memorial Lakes)\n**Stats to Lake:**\nElevation Gain: ~1120m (Parks Canada)\nElevation Loss: ~295m (Parks Canada)\nDistance: <21 km return \nThis trip will provide great views\, weather permitting\, and a good gauge of your fitness for longer and higher trips. \nThe trail through the main valley offers no shade and is exposed with overgrowth being the theme until we hit the switchbacks to the lake. In addition the valley trail has undulations which will add to the total elevation. The switchbacks are steep and present the most arduous section of the trip. In other words\, **this is not for beginners or intermediate hikers**. The intent is maintain a steady pace to reach the lake and take advantage of the sunlight for pics prior to the typical afternoon cloud as there is an outside chance of rain. At the lake those who are Wim Hof practitioners can indulge. Depending on the group there will be an option to going up to Numa Pass which adds ~6.4km and 300m elevation gain. While the trip to the lake is worthwhile in itself adding this option will achieve spectacular views and more endurance for upcoming longer and higher trips. The intital hope was to do a loop via the Numa Cr route; however\, the rain washout of the bridge resulted in this out and back trip. \nDo not sign up if you have to be back by a specific time since we probably stop for a post trip recovery/refreshments/refuel afterwards.\nNote that this is bear country so we will stay fairly close together. \n**REFERENCE:**\n[The Floe Lake Trail: Complete 2026 Hiking Guide | Off Track Travel](https://offtracktravel.ca/floe-lake-trail-kootenay-national-park/) \n**WEATHER:** [Yr – Foster Peak – Long term forecast](https://www.yr.no/en/forecast/daily-table/2-5956441/Canada/British%20Columbia/Regional%20District%20of%20East%20Kootenay/Foster%20Peak) \n**Mandatory Requirements/Gear:** \n🏔️ personal first aid kit & toiletry kit\,\n🏔️ 2-3L H2O \, nourishment & energy refuel\,\n🏔️ layered weather appropriate clothing (no cotton clothing)\,\n🏔️ backpack\,\n🏔️ sturdy hiking boots\, approach/trail shoes\, 🏔️ Note that **if you have bear spray bring it\,**\n🏔️ Hike as a group within sight of each other\,\n🏔️ Positive attitude \n**Optional :**\n🏔️Sun protection/sun block\, sunglasses\, bug spray\n🏔️ trekking poles\, gaiters\n🏔️ camera\n🏔️ warm me up for post swim \nSuggested Gas Fee Contribution: $25 per person \n**NOTES:**\n🌲 RSVP to join the wait list.

SUMMARY:Healy Pass  T3 - Relaxed pace
DESCRIPTION:Slow and Steady Hikers\n**Healy Pass T3 – Relaxed pace**\nHealy Pass is a classic\, 19.5 km out-and-back hike. The first 6 to 7.5 km are a steady\, somewhat uneventful walk through dense pine forest alongside Healy Creek\, passing the Healy Creek Campground. The trail then breaks free into vibrant\, sprawling alpine meadows. The final stretch to the pass opens up completely\,. The elevation rise is gradual\, it climbs 700 m past dense forest to expansive alpine meadows\, culminating in stunning and dramatic views of Monarch Ramparts\, Mount Assiniboine\, and Egypt Lake\nPace: Moderate/Relaxed\, Distance: ~19km; Elevation Gain: ~800m Time: This is all day event\nDifficulty: T3 strenuous\nMandatory Gear:\nHiking boots\, Wind/water resistant jacket\, Hiking poles \, Gaiters\, Water/lunch/snacks\, BEAR spray (Mandatory) and Smiles!!!!!\n**Geology:** The mountains flanking Healy Pass are primarily composed of limestone and dolomite which were deposited in shallow ancient seas roughly 500 million to 250 million years ago.\nThe landscape was created roughly 80 to 55 million years ago during the Laramide Orogeny\, when massive tectonic plates shoved these ancient sedimentary rock layers eastward and upward over younger rock\nThe abrupt\, steep-walled valleys and sharp peaks are the result of intense Pleistocene glaciation. Glaciers carved wide U-shaped valleys out of the older bedrock\nThe lush\, wildflower-filled meadows of Healy Meadows are perched in a “hanging valley” formed by retreating glaciers. The exposed rock bands\, such as hard dolomite ledges along the Healy Creek\, form small\, picturesque waterfalls and river drops.\nA waiting list has automatically been created to determine this trip’s suitability for you as a potential participant. **Waiting list is not first come\, first serve\, but it’s based on the ability to fit into group dynamics and organizer’s discretion and also on past participation in SnS Hikers group events. I**f the organizer requires additional information from you\, please provide it\, otherwise\, you will remain on the waiting list. As a potential participant\, you must check this trip posting for additional directions from the organizer\, including up to trip cancellation. I am not a licensed guide\, hence completely dependent on group members for safety support.\nCODE OF CONDUCT: By signing up for this hike\, you agree to abide by the rules and regulations outlined in the Code of Conduct.

You will need to provide an emergency name and phone number to be recorded on the waiver. The organizer will have a group waiver for you to sign at the meetup location and/or the trailhead.
