| Destination | Century Sam Lake |

| Contact Info | norris.weimer@ualberta.ca; 250-285-3710. Please let the coordinator know if you are interested by Wednesday, 10 July. |
| Description | This trip is hard to schedule because it needs good weather and the access is through a gate which is only unlocked for 12 hours on Saturday and on Sunday. Once passed the gate, the access is via a logging road which eventually has water bars. The hike itself is on a heavily used, but not really maintained trail. The creek crossings are on logs. To the lake is about 8.3 km (return) and 400m elevation gain; to the ice caves is about 13.6 km (return) and 570m elevation gain. The hiking time may be about 7 hours. The trail will likely be very busy. |
| Meeting Place | QCove ferry terminal |
| Departure Time | 7:00 am ferry |
| Difficulty |
Challenging for the length of the day, elevation and altitude gain. |
| Costs | Ferry, shared fuel costs. |
| Trip limits | Limits may depend on the vehicles going. |
| Dogs? | No |
| Notes: | We will not do this trip in poor weather. This is a long day. Come prepared for mountain conditions. |
