Arrived with weapons in hand...
It is only a 3.2 km hike to Bachelor cabin and 4.5km to Edwards cabin. When James and Erika are here I figure we will go to Bachelor cabin. If we aren't tired we can do some exploring without packs on, or we can just relax and play cards, play games. The only difficult section is the beginning in which the first 1.5km is straight up. Not a serious grade, but a good quad-burner. After the 1.5km it plateau's and it is great trekking country!
I ran into a couple of park rangers and they said that Bachelor Cabin is more hidden in the trees and that Edwards cabin is up on a knoll with views of Panther Peak (over 1700 meters). I was greeted at the cabin by a group of teenagers that had hiked in and spent the last night in the cabin. They were cleaning up from what appeared to be a blast! I checked out the cabin and took a few pics.
As you approach the cabin...
From the front...
Bunk in the attic (right above the wood stove)...
The bottom floor has a large table, workstation (for cooking etc.) and a sink (no water and drains into a bucket -- sweet set-up).
There were some nice sights along the way (lots of bird sightings and animal signs). It was a little foggy and overcast -- didn't make for great shots...
This is the creek that runs from Bachelor Lake to Tanis Lake (one of the many creek crossings).
View of one of the many wooded peaks, not nearly as big the big three (Steele, Tetrahedron and Panther), but they are not visible on this hike...
~Happy Days!

Sweet stuff J-Biggs ... can't wait to get out there. Looks like the perfect spot to build the snowman of all snowmen.
See you guys there in 6 days!!!
