Hobiton and tsusiat lakes are near to nitnat and yes this does seem like it would be an adventure. Both of these lakes you have to portage into with many obsticles along the way. Im in salty anytime after december. Maybe we should start planning this right now and make it into a few day trip, i know you have all those banked up hours you need to use, and lord knows i will after this christmas season. Not sure were squalicum lake is to me it sounds more like an indian reserve are you sure this lake is for real.The trail you use to access these lakes is called the nitnat triangle. Monster trees!!!!
