A couple of us visited Renaud cabin last Saturday. It's a nice place even though it's a bit small for a big crowd. The trail to the cabin is on a road so it's quite gentle. There is a snowmobile trail right next to the classic tracks and snowshoers are allowed on it.
So this trip will be quite inclusive -- beginners, kids and snowshoers are all welcome. For the more adventurous ones, there are many options. #51 and then #55 to Renaud cabin via Taylor lake would be a good option. Or you can go visit Lusk cabin via #54 and come back to Renaud cabin.
I was planning to leave the city at around 10:30 but Wesley has a hockey practice that ends at 10:50am. I figure we should car pool and leave in batches around 11am. We should arrive at P19 before 12pm and have a late lunch at the cabin. The distance between P19 and Renaud cabin is 3kms.
Bring a lunch and enough water.
Day pass is $14 for adults. Kids 12 and under are free.
P19 is at 45.624483, -76.010456 or +45° 37' 28.14", -76° 0' 37.64.

#55 has a steep section.
ReplyDeleteif we do it clockwise , is it just a hard climb?
DeleteI looked at my topological map and believe that it's only a hard climb if we do it counter-clockwise.

The blue stretch is only 1km long but pretty steep.
We aim to meet at P19 at 12pm. Bring a lunch and enough water.
