    Jim. How far are those graves from the trailhead?

    Jim, it looks like there is not much snow in the Gore this winter. My troops are getting ready for the trip I planned for last summer. Coming to Gore Creek Camp on June 29 from all around the world: Ukraine, Israel, Toronto, Boston, Baltimore, New Jersey. Hope the weather will cooperate.

    Thank you, Jim.

    May be I will try one in the centre on first photo – I guess it leads closer to Booth Lake.

    Thanks, Jim. We will see how it will go. That part suppose to be our 5th day in the trip with everybody well acclimatized (taking into account that we probably will spent day or two in Gore Range Camp in the beginning).

    Bill, if you do not mind I would like to ask you couple of questions regarding your descend from Kneeknocker Pass and down Black Creek drainage. I am planning to go in opposite direction next June and your help is priceless. Thanks.

    Thank you, Theron. I believe if we will make the trip it will give us true scent of the Gore. In 2009 we visited Indian Peaks and loved it. Now kids are bigger and ready for challenge.
    Thanks again – I checked Bill’s trip: http://www.sgrhoa.net/betz/100712/ and would like to ask him couple questions. This might be what I am looking for.

  • Hi, there! Glad that I found this community.

    • That is one heck of a traverse of the range. Respect – for even daring to take it on! I’m sure everyone will want to hear about that. The central Black Creek valley is without trails and riddled with cliffs, but can be negotiated. Bill Betz did it a couple of summers ago.

    • Rock and Roll. I like the way you think. You are in the right place. I was in and around Bubble Lake this past October. Came around from Dora and Cliff Lake. A bit of a high traverse if you will. I think most people are hitting Bubble Lake via Kneeknocker. Coming down from Duck Lake, I picked up what seemed to be a bit of a trail/goat path on the…[Read more]

    • Ormes calls that East Booth Pass. Had a nice time up there mid-oct. Climbed West Partner via west ridge from Booth Lake and passed by that pass. Very cool tarn on the Booth side of that pass.
