Mount Regan – North Ridge

July 5, 2025

~ submitted by Brian Fleming

Mount Regan is not a summit that gets a lot of visitors.  One way to get there would take most people two or three days and has its own challenges.  Luckily, we had an access agreement to get past a locked gate and could access the easier North Ridge route.

Mount Elma Snowshoe

December 11, 2022

~ submitted by Brian Fleming

Mount Elma – 12.8km, 367m elevation gain.

Total time 6h 45m.

I had thought we could get both Mount Elma and Mount Allan Brooks as one big loop but with all the fresh snow in the last few days, we would have to settle for Mount Elma.
