Rockwall Trail is located in the Canadian Rockies at the East Kootenay Provincial Park, British Columbia. It features beautiful alpine lakes, glaciers, creeks, snowcapped mountains and the Rockwall itself. Larches are abundant in the trail and they showed an amazing golden show during our hike.
We did a fourday backpacking from south to north (Floe Lake trailhead to Paint Pots Trailhead). This is a pointtopoint trail, so we shuttled two cars from one trailhead to
the other. Floe Lake trailhead is only 10 minutedrive to / from the Paint Pots Trailhead.
Below are the chapters in the video and our itinerary.
