This was a very long trip - about 20 miles. It would have been a more pleasant walk if the roads were not heavily rutted and frozen. We could have barefooted the whole trip, but used snowshoes going up to the boundary for the televators. In the future, if there is good snow, it would be a nice ski.
At the entry to the park, signage says that you should not drive in past the gate. There is a sugar operation about a mile in, but their parking area has private parking signs. After the sugar house the road is snowmobile only.
We walked the Chemin Gosford, opting to take a section that was closed to vehicles due to bridge problems (not a problem for walkers). There is a detour around this section, but we enjoyed this smoother track for a bit. We took Chemin Clearwater and then a right on to Chemin de la Grive. We followed Ch de la Grive until it ended in a wide open area (sand pit?) From there, we followed a snowmobile trail down a little way and crossed a stream. After that, we continued on the snowmobile trail about a mile up hill to the boundary. We went left on the boundary cut for about a mile to Boundary Peak where we were unable to open the canister.
