From Hwy 3A a gravel but very drivable 16 km road leads to the Gibson Lake parking area. Overnight vehicles are surronded by provided chicken wire to keep the nocurnal porcupines away from tires and brake lines.
Steady climb for about one hour on well maintained trail leads to the subalpine area and Kokanee Lake. This is traversed on south side scree slope. Further along is Kokanee pass itself and then through pretty meadows to the junction to Kaslo Lake with the spectacular Kokanee Cabin and the further 3 km loop to the original Sloan Glacier cabin which is now an interpretation centre.
We had perfect hiking condition with mild temperature and no bugs. We left the parking lot at 9 am and returned at 3:30 pm for a round trip of 20 km.
Next time going to try to get overnight reservations in the cabin and do more hiking in the surrounding area.
