Turbine Canyon (Overnight)

Hike Name: Turbine Canyon Back-Country Campground
Activity: Backcountry Camping/Backpacking
Total Distance: 52 km
# Nights: 2
Date: July 3-5, 2015
Area: Kananaskis/Peter Lougheed
Crew: Ben and Andrew
Trailhead: Interlakes

Route: 
Day 1 - Upper Kananaskis Lake to Turbine Canyon via Forks (17 km, 525m)
Night 1 - Stay at Turbine Canyon Back-Country Campground
Day 2 - Attempt to hike to 3 Isle Lake via Maude Lake and Beatty Lake. However with the 2013 flood damage in the valley, we could not get through the second pass and had to turn back around and returned to Turbine Canyon. Talking with other hikers, apparently no one else had made it on this route yet this year. (18 km, 800m)
Night 2 - Stay at Turbine Canyon Back-Country Campground
Day 3 - Return the same way we came in
