From our base, you will begin your day with a scenic roughly 20-minute flight into beautiful Warner Lake located at 1,850 m. From Warner Lake your group will hike approximately 18 kms of rolling, and at times gradually uphill, trails to our Spruce Camp.
You can expect to hike along rocky sections of trail that have some mild exposure and spectacular valley views, past the glacier fed Trigger and Hummingbird lakes, through grasslands and alpine meadows that are dotted with beautiful aspen groves and wildflowers (if in bloom), and along the shores of Spruce Lake. There are short to moderate uphill sections of trail over the day.

From Spruce Lake your group will hike roughly 25 kms of rolling trail that gradually loses elevation back to the valley (but do expect some small uphill’s).
Shortly after departing camp, you will arrive at an area of spectacular open sub alpine meadows filled with wildflowers (when in bloom) and aspen groves, which provide stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges and the vast valley ahead of you. There are ample photo opportunity spots along this section of trail and take a moment here to really appreciate the true wilderness experience you are immersed in.
After descending gradually through the meadows, you will hike along the banks of Gun Creek for extended portions of time. Marvel at the power of the creek and enjoy the sounds of the running water. Notice a change in the terrain to a real mixture of volcanic ash and sand as you lose elevation and hike through the valley forest back to Gun Creek Road.
