The Toba Traverse
The Toba Traverse trip follows a ridge divide on
the British Columbia coast above the spectacular fjord named Toba Inlet.
Though. The whole area is a rugged arctic-alpine wilderness of granite
ridges clothed in heather and grasses. It is strewn with dozens of alpine
lakes which are tucked into deep shady pockets. Most of these have
granite slabs shooting straight into the water. The area has a very
remote character despite being less than two hundred miles north of the city of
Vancouver.
This trip is a remote backpacking excursion that requires some backcountry experience:
· Basic backpacking experience
· Camping skills.
· Physical fitness for a 5-day backpack trip.
There is opportunity to scramble some summits. Technical climbing is not involved.
The trip is based out of Powell River, BC, which is served by daily flights from Vancouver, BC. Flights from Seattle are very easy to arrange. We can help with arrangements. Five days in
the field and a travel day on each end make this a perfect one week
holiday. The price includes food, fuel, tents, stoves and fly-in costs,
lodging and meals in Powell River.
