One hike I’m hoping to check off my list is Nine Peaks in Strathcona Park. Nine peaks is in the heart of the park so this will be a multi day backpacking adventure. While we wait for the weather to get better, I have put together a day plan for the trip drawing from past experiences in the area, and trip reports from countless other hikers. I’ll be expanding on this in the future with more information about the route, so we are well prepared for the adventure ahead!
The start of the plan is to drive up in the evening before day one and camp at the trailhead so we can get up early and rested for day one.
Day One: We will begin hiking from the Bedwell Lakes Trailhead and head up the trail, past Bedwell Lake toward Cream Lake. First night we plan to camp between Big Interior and Nine Peaks to make the second day easier on ourselves.
Day Two: From camp between Big Interior and Nine Peaks, the plan is to summit Nine Peaks before the day gets too warm, then slowly head back to camp pack up, and head to the next camp on the Bedwell lake side of Big Interior Mountain.
Day Three: The 3rd and final day is the easiest day on paper. From our camp below Big Interior Mountain, we should have plenty of time to head down to Bedwell Lakes, and back to the parking lot for the drive back home.
