Please let the coordinator know at least 4 days before the trip if you will be going – by email, please. The trip is weather dependent and the final ‘call’ will be made by email by 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 1. Trip participants must be capable of self-rescue. You can drive down to the dock at the lodge to unload, but cars must be parked in the upper parking lot. If you are the first to arrive, please walk down the hill from one of the upper parking lots to make sure there is room to bring vehicles down to unload. If you are interested in renting a kayak for this trip, please contact Coast Mountain Expeditions directly. |
