Itinerary:

I would ask that anyone who signs up for this hike has at least been double vaccinated against Covid. The hike starts off on ski access roads before traversing the east side of Mt Haig and gaining elevation more steeply. A trail through the forest then leads to the lake. From the lake we will ascend the steep slope towards Haig Ridge using a 'rock staircase'. After enjoying the view we will continue to follow the ridge before continuing down to complete the loop trail - some route finding will be required here. If some people want to do an out and back to the lake (9km return and 435m elevation), and someone is willing to take the lead that is also an option but the main hike will be the loop. Estimating around 5 hours on trail for the loop.
