| Itinerary: |
|
8:00 AM - depart from carpool parking 8:15 AM - arrive at trailhead 8:30 AM - begin our run 2:30 PM - return to trailhead (estimate)
The plan is the Allan-Collembola Traverse (as detailed below). The objective might change depending on amount of snow remaining in the north-facing scramble sections--this is meant to be a scenic ridge run, not a mountaineering objective! An alternative could be Wind Ridge or similar. Please add yourself to the waitlist and we can decide as a group!
Distance: 24km Elevation: 2100m
Pace and time: The plan is to fast-hike the uphill sections, run the flat and the non-technical downhill sections, and take our time through the scramble sections. This run should take around 4.5 to 6.5 hours, depending on the group.
Trail and route: This run begins on the Mount Allan Centennial Trail through the forest for the first 5.5 kms, then takes a side trail which soon pops up above treeline. We will spend most of our day in the alpine without access to water sources, so please pack enough water for the trip. We will head toward Mount Collembola first, which involves some class 4 scrambling with exposure to gain the summit. We'll take a short break near the summit before continuing the traverse toward Mount Allan, making a clockwise loop, then returning via the Centennial Trail back to the trailhead.

Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Rocky Mountain Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
