28 km Floe Lake to Helmet Falls GC
We had another day of perfect weather, amazing views and tons of elevation gain and loss.

All day we walked on the world-renowned Rockwall Trail in Kootenay National Park. It’s 30km with a one kilometer high escarpment to the West. It’s impossible to always stay close to the wall due to glaciers and rock fall. So we hiked up and down multiple drainages.

A perfect place for a break. And no bugs.

It must be absolutely beautiful on a moonlit night! Thanks Nancy!
Amazing country. Hopefully the bugs are dyin’ off!
Hey Nancy! I believe it was you I bumped into and chatted briefly on the Rockwall Trail. Based on my pack you were wondering if I was doing the whole GDT. Hopefully in the next couple years I will! Have a blast heading north.
Yes. You should do it before it all burns up. I hear that the Rockwall Trail is now closed due to a fire. Big bummer.
Oh my gosh, Nancy! The photos of this adventure are over the top beautiful! Thank you for taking us along by way of your blog and spectacular scenery!
