Jen, if you end up bailing on your backpack permit (or, BC gods forbid, not getting the one you want) and instead do Akamina Ridge, be sure to stay up in Canada for a few days and hike Carthew-Alderson too. A really spectacular hike, that one.
And, if you and Maia are feeling ambitious, you could tackle the Triple Crown Challenge....https://mywaterton.ca/do/challenge-the- ... 50de04b639 I bumped into a couple of people on Carthew-Alderson this past year who were trying to crank it out in three days...which actually seems like something Todd would do (though if it weren't for the ferry and shuttle logistics, he'd probably try to fit it in in two. ).
As for me, I'm less interested in the glory of the Triple Crown than in the fun of seeing Boulder Pass from the Canada side. Akamina was such a striking sight from Boulder Pass and Boulder Peak...really pulled at me.
I think we gals need to take a ride in that Pilot!
Hey Selkie! Teapot says there's room for five...(hint, hint).
Thanks! I am really trying to fit this into the plan!akamina3 wrote: We will certainly hike Akamina Ridge again this summer.
Tip: be sure to hike it from Forum Lake up Akamina Ridge down to Wall Lake and out.

Sigh... I have too many maps for too many areas.
For what areas are you interested?

Sounds like my kind of hiking.Although you will be hiking along a pre-Depression era forrestry road, it is wild. This valley has the densest concentration of grizzly bears in British Columbia. It is remote. It is wild.
