I've got a group of 8 of us that are looking to stay in 2 rooms in Lytton after 9 days of hiking. 6 youth and 2 adults. A/C would be an important aspect.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

The Lytton Hotel is nice ;D

Funny you should mention that... I was sure I had put in my original that anywhere EXCEPT the Lytton Hotel would be desirable. ::) I guess I thought it but didn't type it.
-
lytton pines.
-
What about Totem Motel? Anyone stay there?
-
Kumsheen Rafting Resort
-
The youth might like Kumsheen, they coukd stay in a TeePee there. Otherwise I would suggest Braden Lodge. If it were for you and your wife I would suggest you call my freinds at The Inn At The Bridge.
-
Well, it looks like we're going to stay at the Jade Springs Campground which is right next to Hyack, our chosen rafting company.
Thanks for the input guys. :)

Great food next door.

Sweet... what's the name of the place?

Jade Springs. Ha Ha Ha!

Jade Springs. Ha Ha Ha!
Oughtta be easy to find then ::)
We greyhound up to Whistler on Sunday and chopper in to Tabletop mountain.
Then we spend 9 days hiking the Stein Valley (c.a. 80km) and end up at Jade Springs Campground
Next day - we raft
Day after - home via Greyhound.
Should be a good (if not VERY tiring time)

Sounds like quite the hike. Could you post some photos of the scenery?

:D You can certainly expect quite a few photos from me when I get back!
I last did this hike 14 years ago and it's still embedded in my brain as beautiful, rugged and challenging.

Dude, you'll have 20 pounds in camera gear alone!
What are your thoughts on that - I'm always torn between composition (convenient small p/shoot) versus quality (big, non pocketable dslr)...sort of powershot s70 vs 40d.
any conclusions on that dilemma? miss shots because you did not have a pocket cam with you?

Well - I'm not bringing the 4.3lb 100-400.
I'm bringing the 40D, one spare battery, 2 x 4GB cards (shooting JPG), the 17-85mm lens and am CONSIDERING the Sigma 70-300 but that depends on my pack load :)
Also need batteries for the FRS radios and the Sat phone as well as GPS... etc. Geesh. I'll be lucky if there's room for clothing! ;)

heard the burger was worth trying at the lytton hotel.
and don't you miss not having a video record feature on your camera?
-
That sounds like a great trip. Don't forget your rod. If that is to much trouble you can hand-line your flies. I have a freind who use to guide outfit in the Sawtooth on the Idaho, Montana border and he hand-lined all the time. If you are bringing only 1 fly pattern make it's the "Irresistible".
Ps after that trip you are going to love good food and coffee prepared by some-one else.

I can't allow my 16yr old Venturers near the Lytton Hotel.... I owe them that ;)
Never liked video. I find it takes WAYYY too many hours pre-edit to come up with reasonable video. I prefer the high quality of my stills enough that I don't feel a need for video either.

I thought about a rod...but I don't think Stein lake has any fish... too many natural barriers and glacier fed. If anything I'd be tying the line onto a stick and tossing it in the water with a bit of pepperoni probably ;)
-
Streams Dragon! I'm talking streams, tie the line to a stick, you will be fishing for trout that have never seen a hook! It doesn't get any better than that!
-
It would be nice to see a picture of one of those burgers from the Lytton hotel in high def. :)
-
just stay i lillooet or...maybe the nahatlatch north bend area...it is all nice.
lytton is too....but give it a whorl!
-
We made it back... One brutal time.
