    Route Description for Saturday Night Lake Loop Backpacking Trail

    The Saturday Night Lake Loop is a relatively easy loop that can be done in two or three days. For the two day option, we recommend hiking the easy 9.2 km to Minnow Lake to spend your first night. Hike 15.4 km on your second day back to the trailhead to finish the loop. To extend your trip, hike 8.8 km on the second day to spend a night at Saturday Night Lake. You will hike 6.6 km to the trailhead on the final day. This is the best option for families with children.

    The trail travels through a quiet forest passing Minnow Lake, High Lakes, and Saturday Night Lake. It is one of the few backpacking routes that begins and ends at the same trailhead, making it an excellent option for those who don’t have time for extra logistics.
