| Day |
5 Day Hut to Hut Guided Hiking Trip |
| 01 |
| The tour guide will meet the group at 10:00 A.M. at your accommodation. After an introduction we drive one hour on a dirt road to the trailhead at 5300 ft. (1630m). The trail leads through mature forest and into lush meadows of alpine flowers. It is pure alpine from here to the Trophy Mountain Chalet which sits at 7000 ft (2153m). The view from the Chalet is superb, and the area has great hiking with small peaks, lakes, and flower meadows everywhere. The hike from the road takes about two and a half hours and we gain 1700 ft. (523m) over 4 km. After lunch we will take a short day hike to start and explore the Trophy Mtns. |

| Today we plan a long hike in the surrounding Trophy Mountains, climb two or three peaks in the range, and swim in the numerous lakes. Fantastic views all day with an incredible feeling of wilderness. Six hours of hiking in the alpine - 7 km |
|
| 03 |
| Today we hike north to Discovery Cabin, a newly built cabin. The route takes us through total wilderness and a guide with a map, compass, and good knowledge of the area is needed. After a couple of hours in the alpine we drop down into the mature forest and lose altitude until we come into the Valley of the Lakes. Lunch here and then continue into alpine meadows until we cross Eagle Pass at 6700 ft (2061m). From the top of the pass to the cabin is only 45 minutes of gentle down through glades. The cabin is in a very remote and wild valley. The hike today is 11 km and takes 6-7 hours. |

In the afternoon we return back to Clearwater. |
