9/8-9 Mt. Albert Edward/Forbidden Plateau(温哥华岛) BP

:D
That is exactly what I want to do. How about the first week of Sept. This time of the year the weather is more stable and day light is longer. :roll:

Della Falls on Vancouver Island is the highest waterfall in Canada, accessible only via a long hike. Usually the falls have lost their oomph by late summer, however thanks to the deep snowpack they are still going strong this year. The winter storms also washed out some parts of the trails. The falls are still accessible, but there are some challenging sections of trail.

Day 1 (Sunday) : Ferry to Nanaimo, then a 2-hour drive followed by 1-hour water taxi or 2-hour powerboat trip across Great Central Lake, hike in a few km, set up camp.
Day 2: Hike the rest of the trail ( total 7 hours, 16 km, 450 m elevation
gain) up to base of the falls, camp there.
Day 3: Explore the area (probably Love Lake, 7km round-trip, 760 m elevation gain), camp at the base of the falls or perhaps a bit further down the trail.
Day 4 (Wednesday) : Hike down, boat back across the lake, aim for an early evening ferry home

***I am travelling this week and will have only occasional access to email. To sign up or if you have questions, please email me at syeo@lightspeed.ca AND leave a voicemail message at (604) 451-8805. I'll do my best to get back to you within two days.****

Costs:
Round-trip ferry fare to Nanaimo is about $22 per person plus $80 per vehicle.  In addition, water taxi or powerboat fees will be about $100-130 per person. Gas will probably be $40-$50 per vehicle.

QQ，你在那岛上，想与你去hi也困难啊。Ferry太费时间了。

Daisy
Strathcona is a beautiful place worth to be explored.
If you can pick up us in Nanamo that would be nice, otherwise I will be camping in Buttle Lake on Friday night.
:wink:

不错呀,但我是第一次出去CAMPING,能不能留下一个联系方式,我可以问更详细的情况.多谢!

游客
请问是否要自带帐篷和睡袋(目前还没有),道路情况如何?是在乱石中行走还是在修好的小石子路上行走?多谢!

Daisy
:) Are we really go to camping, should we list out our equipment  and share responsibility to minimize  the weight of our backpack.

I have a 2-person tent and stove.

I have camping experience but not an experienced camper. I can backpack for 10 - 12 K, more than that I might have difficulties.

I know nothing about this trail but really want to do it. :oops:

Should we discuss our camping in detail.
send me an email then I can tell you my cell no.
