Map: 82F/14 Slocan

Access: From the Slocan Chief Cabin.

Kokanee Glacier Trail: Approach by trail from the cabin. The “best and safest” route is the trail behind the terminal moraine which leads left under The Battleship to the left (east) side of The Battleship. There are also two routes up the right (west) side of The Battleship, the left-hand trail on rock and the right-hand on snow, close to each other.

The names of The Battleship and The Giant’s Kneecap may have been interchanged on the map, because The Battleship resembles a knee, and The Giant’s Kneecap distinctly looks like a World War I battleship.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
