Raisin Glacier Traverse/Upper Peters Creek


I have been up Ram Valley a number of different times. In summer 2015 Ryan and I tried to camp out at the tarn just above Peters Creek, but ended up getting up there too late. Ram Valley is a long slog, that's for sure! And it's good that we had to turn around before Bombardment Pass, because I learned the summer after that the tarn was still a solid 2 hours away! We ended up camping in the only flat area around...near the base of Ram Glacier. 

In June 2016, I took a group up there, after planning out a big loop that'd go up Ram Valley, drop down to the base of Raisin Glacier, follow Peters Creek out part way, but looping back around near Mount Significant. I love traverses that don't require car-staging, if it's possible.
