Killarney Backpacking Trail - mid August
After finishing the loop in 4 days 5 years ago, I returned with a friend and his kids to complete it in 6 days.
The first day we stayed at H8, not before visiting few sites along the way. H7 is located on a famous by now Topaz Lake, that gets even day-trippers from George campground.

Second day we reached Bodina Lake, our next destination.

Our 3rd day would take us to H33, going through more difficult terrain.
Steep rocky descent past H21
Little Mountain Lake in the morning, after leaving H33.
On the 4th day, before reaching H38 we took a side trip to Silver Peak. Very popular place.

The fifth day was a long one. On the way we stopped for swimming on Heaven Lake and Proulx Lake, refreshing waters.
Shingwak Lake
Little Superior Lake
The last day was a very short one, just 5km left to complete the whole loop.

It was a good trip, the weather was pleasant most of the time and the kids behaved beautifully on the trail. While I was having a work-out they were singing while carrying their backpacks. Impressive.
Happy trails!
