| Event Directions: |

Park at the side of the highway here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oKPq97HN7stkLWT96
Parking: The parking lot for Quaite Valley is accessible from EASTBOUND HWY 1 ONLY. From Heart Creek, the highway bends left, passes the parking area for Acephale, then bends right. You will pass beneath a set of power lines and you may notice a white cross on the right-hand side. The parking area is 200m past the power lines on the right-hand side of the highway. Pull off the highway into the ditch and park beside an old gated road. This is the start of the Quaite Valley trail. |

|
| Notes: |
|
Event is weather dependent, and Elevation Place indoor climbing is the backup. If the weather does not appear favorable, Tana will send an email by 4:00 PM to indicate a change to the backup location.
|
|
Anyone who does not unregister themselves or notify Tana of their change in plans by 17:00 will be marked as “no show.”
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.
