Itinerary
Aug 12 – Leaving home to Whistler and sleep in the Kees and Claire hut
Aug 13 – Leaving hut to Roundhouse and taking gondola down Whistler village and back to home
There are two routes to Kees and Claire in the summer.
Musical Bumps: Follow the Musical Bumps trail either from the top of the Peak Express Chair or from Roundhouse Lodge at the top of the Whistler gondola. You’ll need to purchase a sightseeing lift ticket for the day to be able to access the lifts. Musical Bumps is about a 9.5km hike each way from the peak and 10.5km from Roundhouse lodge.
Singing Pass Trail: This trail starts from Whistler Village and as such has a lot more elevation to tackle than the above option. This hike is around 14km and 1450m elevation.
The Kees and Claire hut is pretty luxurious. It’s set over two storeys with sleeping quarters on the lower storey and a kitchen, dining and seating area upstairs. There’s also a boot and equipment room to dry things off and 3 composting toilets.
In the kitchen area, you’ll find four stoves as well as all the cookware and dining equipment you need (cafetieres, bowls, plates, cutlery etc). There are also some separate stoves and pans for melting snow in the winter season since there’s no drinking water available.
In the sleeping area, the bunks are split out into separate rooms (without doors). Some rooms sleep 4 and others sleep 6 with two double bunks and 2 single bunks. There are cubby holes to store your gear in too.
