The Mount Begbie Summit trail is a steep strenuous 6 km hike to a small Recreation Site just below the glacier on Mount Begbie. The site has 4 tent pads and a fly out toilet. From this site one can proceed across the glacier to the summit if they are prepared with mountaineering knowledge and equipment. This high elevation campground above treeline sits at the base of the glacier at 2045m elevation.
