The Chilkoot is a month away so some serious training is required. I was thinking about a hike in Ontario that would be similar to going over the Chilkoot summit and thought about "The Crack" at Killarney Provincial Park.
It is only 6 km but has a 1200 ft change in elevation. So..on Saturday, we headed to the Park
The first bit was fairly easy. We loaded our packs full so we could get a sense of the weight we were going to be carrying.
Nice lakes along the way. White mountains in the background
The first significant climb....
Steeper still.....
Looking up at the Crack
...now it was getting steep....
....and through the last uphill and the crack
...Great view!
