Hearing that some of our club members haven't seen the Ramparts, the iconic rock formation of Canada, which I first saw on a poster shortly after immigrating to this country, I decided to organize a trip to Tonquin Valley. I was lucky to book 6 spots in Wates-Gibson Hut, about 5 kilometers from the Ramparts. Myself I visited Tonquin Valley in 1993. This is not an easy hike - about 16 kilometers long (my GPS showing over 18 km to Wates-Gibson) and you have to carry food and everything for 2-3 days.
Knowing that "personal hygiene" may be problematic in the following days, with my companions - Roman, Teresa, Ken, Asia and Mike - we did preventatively a bit of "water purification" in Miette Hot Springs on Friday, 2 August.
