I'm looking to hike the North Boundary Trail in Jasper at some point this summer. Was thinking I'd do it solo but company is more than welcome. I've done 3-4 day trips in Jasper before but this would my longest trip yet. There are lots of primitive campgrounds along the trail with firepits, bear poles and pit toilets. Some descriptions say that all major creek crossings are bridged but some say that bridges don't exist. Plan to get wet.
I'm planning on doing it from Celestine Road to Mt. Robson and hoping to do it in 8 days. Pretty much copied the plan from the blog post at http://trailanderrorhiking.blogspot....il-jasper.html
* Day 1 - arrive at the trailhead in mid-afternoon and start hiking. Camp at Shalebanks CG (17km)
* Day 2 - Shalebanks CG to Willow Creek CG with a stop at Snake Indian Falls (21 kms)
* Day 3 - Willow Creek CG to Blue Creek CG with a short detour to Welbourne Falls (26 kms)
* Day 4 - Blue Creek CG to Oatmeal CG (28 kms)
* Day 5 - Oatmeal CG to Twintree CG (24 kms)
* Day 6 - Twintree CG to Chown Creek CG (17 kms)
* Day 7 - Chown Creek CG to Adolphus CG (24 kms)
* Day 8 - Adolphus CG to Berg Lake Trailhead through the Valley of a Thousand Falls (25 kms)
Dates I have in mind:
* June 10 - 17
* July 15 - 22
* August 1 - 8
