Suluk46 presents, "On The Trail", a series of informative videos related to ultralight backpacking products, techniques, trips, and tutorials. Episode #10, hosted by Steve Evans, follows him through Sleeping Giant Provincial Park where he hikes the entire length of the Kabeyun Trail, and then connects back to the beginning of the trail via the Sawyer Bay Trail, Sawbill Lake Trail, Marie Louise Drive Road, Burma Trail, Twinpine Lake Trail, and then backtracks on the first 8km of the Kabeyun Trail to the start/finish.
The firepit at Sawyer is massive and rather beautiful now. I didn't realise how long ago it was started. I was tired and just wanted to get to my campsite so I didn't stop to take a picture.
I haven't been in probably a decade. Love the place though.
Great hiking video
We fought off agro bucks w/ that axe together. dogs were getting attacked by porcupines. thats my kayak @ 7:00 minutes. I went around superior in it. what did u do?
Just got back from doing the same hike with my dog. She handled it like a pro. :) I did have to help her in a couple spots however. .
The deer skull is still there and the dock is now sinking down into the lake.
Glad it all worked out for you! I'll have to head up there again in the coming years, it was great.
warm beer. Sounds delicious.
What's the trail like from Thunder Bay lookout to Twin Pine Lake trail? I've hiked the Giant a lot but have never done that section. Going to be doing it in a month with my dog and I'm concerned if she can handle it. Thanks for any input.
I don't recall everything as I did thi hike some time ago, however, I feel like a dog would be able to hike the trails anywhere in the park. There are some very steep sections but they are for short periods. The park may have better info.
+Suluk46 Great. Thanks for the info. I went there last year with my dog and hiked in from the north end of Kabeyun Trail and camped just behind the legs of the sleeping giant. I was going to do an all day hike around the giant with her but one section along the legs was all big boulders and she couldn't do it. She's much bigger now and older and I feel she could do it now. This Sept. I'm going to do the route you did. can't wait. 😆
Hey Steve just came across your page great video at sleeping giant. If I may ask when you plan a hike what are the steps of which you go through to plan one.
Thanks man.
hey steve,,like ur vid how many days did it take to hike the trail??
Joseph Duncan I did it over 3 days. If you go to my website and look at the "adventure" page I have a written trip report and gearlist you can look at. Its a great place so have fun if you end up going!
@Curnd0g
Indeed I did. Was it really you who left it? If it was you, you should be quite happy because it seems all the sites in that area share it. I even had a guy come buy who was staying across the trail from me ask to borrow it. It came in handy. Thanks!
Where exactly is the sign for the old Chimeny Trail? I tried to find it but couldn't
Good question - last time I was there was 7 years ago so I actually don't remember and my guess is things have changed drastically since. When I was there, the trail was closed so it may be much more overgrown at this point. Maybe call the head office and ask?
Suluk46 Thank you for taking the time to reply. Do you remember if the junction was on the Feet? (Close to the Bird Sanctuary)
I had to do a web search as I honestly don't recall, but here is what I pulled from Summitpost: You get to the base of the climb via the Sawyer Bay trail. Follow the old logging trail from the main (Mary Louise) campground. The total length of the trail is 16km or 10 miles roundtrip so its a bit of a haul.
The Chimney Trail ascends the Giant via the knees and is a steep hike past boulders the size of midsized cars and over some challenging obstacles. Hope that helps you out.
Suluk46 thanks, I appreciate your effort 😊
Please please please tell me where you got your map, I cannot find one anywhere!
You know, I honestly and remember where I got it. Maybe MEC? If not, Google or call the park.
I tried google, and the park only has an online interactive map. I really need a physical copy to take into the backcountry. Cant find one anywhere! Thank you for replying, and great video!
@supertramp71
Yes, I have my gearlist aswell as a full trip report with pictures up on my website. I can't post the link because youtube doesn't allow it, but if you go to google and search "Suluk 46", my website should be the first one. Go to the "adventures" section and you will see the link to the trip report, gearlist, and the lunk that brings you to this video.
Let me know if you have any questions, this place was great!
Steve
Yeah or you can use a "Low Pass Filter" or just turn down the bass in the EQ in Adobe Premiere. Record the narration in a more quiet location and overdub it viewers will never know the difference. Thanks for the report.
put a band-aid or something on your mic to fix that wind sound when you're up high : )
Hey, love the video! I'm from Thunder Bay and was wondering if perhaps you may be willing to let me use a few clips from your video for a project I am working on! If youre interested in learning more reply on here and Ill give you some more info! Cheers!
Graeme Saukko-Sved Please go right ahead! Use whatever clips you want.
@nuckkingfuts
I just saw this post, sorry for the late reply. Where are you located? I do a backpacking clinic at my local park and explain how I go about it, everyone is welcome. If you are looking to get into the sport, a few 1 nighters is a great way to ease into the bigger trips. Let me know if you have any questions.
i biked to the giant and had to leave my bike at the bottom
