This video will show you the general trail conditions in mid-September, views, statistics, and some guide in hiking the trail. Hope you find this helpful in planning your hike. Thank you for watching and please subscribe for more of my hiking adventures.

*********************
Rockwall Trail is located in the Canadian Rockies at the East Kootenay Provincial Park, British Columbia. It features beautiful alpine lakes, glaciers, creeks, snow-capped mountains and the Rockwall itself. Larches are abundant in the trail and they showed an amazing golden show during our hike.

We did a four-day backpacking from south to north (Floe Lake trailhead to Paint Pots Trailhead). This is a point-to-point trail, so we shuttled two cars from one trailhead to
the other. Floe Lake trailhead is only 10 minute-drive to / from the Paint Pots Trailhead.

Below are the chapters in the video and our itinerary.
