Description

Drive to trailhead (4.5 hours) and hike in
along Salal Creek (a bit of bushwhacking). 15km
with 800m of elevation gain (could be 8+
hours). Extended hiking on river rocks so
hiking poles recommended.

Arrive at amazing high pass with huge glacier
running down into valley bottom. Find camping
spot and spend two days exploring peaks, ridges
and old mining camps.

Return to Vancouver by Monday evening.

Great article and photos here of the area:
