Hiking the ROCKWALL TRAIL | A Canadian Classic!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Hiking the Rockwall Trail is an extraordinary adventure along one of Canada’s most scenic trails. Hike along with us as we traverse this amazing trail beneath towering limestone cliffs and hanging glaciers, past majestic waterfalls (including one of Canada’s tallest!), across expansive meadows, and over four alpine passes.
I hiked this trail in 1983, and since then have hiked portions of it on various hikes. I decided that, 40 years later, it was time to hike the entire route again.

Thank you for a video sharing the beautiful views of this area. Very nice and much appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome to see the Ottertail and Goodsir Pass get some love on RUclips. More people should do it that way. Bit of work but Goodsir is worth it. Amazing to see the work Yoho's done on that trail since I hiked it just two years ago too.
Goodsir Pass is a bit of work, but you're right, worth it. I've hiked in from the Paint Pots several times. Okay trail, but nothing really scenic until you near Helmet Falls. The McArthur Creek campsite is at a good location (the warden's cabin is in a better one!) and that hike over Goodsir Pass is challenging but rewarding. The walk in through Yoho to Goodsir Pass was good hiking, compared to what you probably faced two years ago. Thanks for watching, Ben.
Phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal shots my friend! This hike is brilliant 👏👏
Great video the trails look to be in great shape.
Thanks Dave. Yeah, the trails were in great shape. Parks Canada apparently has done a great job in the past year cleaning up the trail in Yoho. I think it was a mess from a couple of years ago, strong winds and lots of trees down.
Great video! Really liked your discussion on Athabasca Pass trail. It is a shame Jasper National Park has not replaced the bridge yet. Athabasca Pass is a national historic site and Parks Canada has to maintain natural site and historic sites for all Canadians in their mandates. Currently Athabasca Pass has basically been abandoned and will soon be like Howse Pass national historic site if nothing is done soon.
Thanks for watching, zinger. Yeah, it's a shame that Jasper hasn't replaced that Simon Creek bridge. Or taken up that gentleman's incredible offer to build, install, and maintain one. Makes me think more and more about looking elsewhere to do my hiking.
Hola soy guillermo de santiago de chile naci con el talento de crear y me facina trabar los troncos siempre hecho figuras en madera pero deceo trabajar los trocos estoy incurcionando teniendo experiencia con moto cierra no tengo los recursos economicos para tener herramientas mas profecinales pero encanta tuu trbajo y quiero seguirte ojala nos pongamos en contacto bendiciones
No pizza for dinner this trip?
Haha, nope. I was traveling light on this hike.
Enjoyed your video a lot. Did most of this hike with my daughter in the opposite direction to you. Curious about a few things in your video:
1. What app was Dave using to showing the elevation profile and camp location?
2. At 18:06 where were those mountain profiles used on the phone obtained from?
3. Any trouble obtaining permits this time of year?
4. Your the first hiker I have seen use a pulse ox on their hike.....is that standard equipment for you?
Again thanks for sharing and enjoying your channel.
1. Dave and Stuart both were using FarOut on their phones.
2. Dave had PeakFinder for the mountain names.
3. No trouble at all getting a permit for mid October. The crowds are gone by then and weather can be questionable, so there's lots of availablity for permits. We saw no one on the hike until the last night where we camped beside Floe Lake, and then saw a bunch of dayhikers the last morning as we hiked out to our vehicle. Saying that, I had hoped to hike the Rockwall in early October but was on vacation in eastern Canada then.
4. I like to take the OxyMeter just for curiosity, it measures my pulse rate and my oxygen saturation. I like pulling it out on a stiff uphill climb just to see what the reading is. I could wear a watch and probably get way more information, but I hate wearing a watch. The OxyMeter weighs hardly anything and fits easily in one of my hipbelt pockets.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the views and the comments.
Thanks for the reply. Hope to see out on the trail some day!!😀
