Visitation in the park has increased substantially since I did my original series on the Wonderland Trail backcountry camps in 2012. It has become increasingly common for hikers to select camps that are off the Wonderland Trail in order to complete a circuit. Therefore I am mapping all the other backcountry camps in the park so hikers can view the alternatives. This will be an ongoing process through 2025, and I will add the camps here as they become available. I am listing them here in the same heading and order found on the NPS website. Happy Hiking!

LONGMIRE/PARADISE AREA CAMPS

• LAKE GEORGE (placeholder)

• SNOW LAKE Snow lake camp is located on the south side of the Stevens Canyon road near Lake Louise. It can be accessed from the Wonderland Trail where it brushes against the road; the hiker has to walk the road to the Snow Lake trailhead, approximately one half mile. From there it is 1 mile on trail to the turnoff for the camp. Filmed in 4K, run time 6:52.

EASTSIDE CAMPS

• BERKELEY PARK. Berkeley Park Camp is a one of the camps along the Northern Loop Trail. It is fairly close to Sunrise so is convenient if getting a late start. Its proximity to the Wonderland Trail makes it a viable option if unable to secure a spot at Sunrise Camp. Filmed in 4K, run time 6:02,
