We wanted to do Egypt Lake hike but called last week and they were all full, we are now thinking of doing Lower Galatea Lake as I think the Mount Northover Ridge hike might be a bit tough for a first timer and I dont want to scare her.
Whichever one we do I will post a trip report |
^This.
While Northover is certainly amongst the finest of AB hikes, my understanding is that it is extremely strenuous, has periods of exposure, and depends on accomplished routefinding skills.
Might be a bit much for a noob.
