Approximate ground elevation from a 90 m terrain model. Distance follows the mapped itinerary and may differ from published walking distance. This is a terrain-model profile, not a surveyed measurement. Any ascent total is identified separately with its own source or estimation method.
How the route order was checked
BC Parks downloadable GPS identifies the campground trailhead and this backcountry camp independently. The retained licensed source route is continuous from within39m of that trailhead to the camp vicinity (endpoint offsets recorded in validation). The official northern-route map establishes this approach and staged camp chainage. The selected line excludes waterfall side trips, the Monkman Tarns and the unmaintained southern wilderness continuation. The source describes the ordinary lake visit as an out-and-back.
