Love the Elk hike. Have you ever done the ridge? ie. Hiking from Elk to Cheam?

[BCHunterTV]

never, defiantly would like to do that hike....i heard the Cheam still has a fair amount of snow...?

[ElectricDyck]

Yeah elks awesome, just has a lot of traffic even during the week and I think I've only been there once when it's been clear. I packed a 60 lb pack up there last weekend trying to toughen up, it was quite the leg burner on that last steep section.

Hiking from elk to cheam sounds interesting, I'd guess that would be an overnighter or a super long day? People are already summiting Cheam, from the pics I saw only a bit of snow left.
