About Mount Begbie Campground
The Mount Begbie Summit trail is a steep strenuous 6 km hike to a small Recreation Site just below the glacier on Mount Begbie. The site has 4 tent pads, a bear cache, and a toilet. From this site one can proceed across the glacier to the summit if they are prepared with mountaineering knowledge and equipment. This high elevation campground above treeline sits at the base of the glacier at 2045m elevation.
Mt Begbie is in a Partnership agreement with the Alpine Club of Canada. You can visit them at https://acccolumbiamountains.com
The Alpine Club of Canada and Recreation Sites and Trails BC are planning maintenance work at the Mount Begbie Alpine Campsite August 9-14.
They will be long-lining materials to the upper campsite. They will also be transporting workers (landing site required).
It is critical that the helicopter landing site near the upper campground and long-lining sites are clear of visitors and objects on August 9, 10, 13, & 14.
If you are leaving your camping gear unattended for the day - please secure it away from landing sites (any open, flat areas near the campsite) and secure all objects from rotor wash winds (take down tents and tarps). Volunteers or staff may relocate your possessions if deemed necessary for operational safety.
