Thank you 🙏. We are pretty spoiled here in the Canadian Rockies.

Thanks very much! It was a beautiful overnight trip. I appreciate the sub!

Thank you! I wish it would last longer.

@@ecttreker9816 it’s a beautiful place. The larches are still out right now!

The views always blow me away!

It surprises me every time I go back. A must do for sure!

It sure is! Absolutely stunning. Thanks for comment, appreciate that 🙏. Gotta go and edit another video 😀

It was a beauty! So many layers to that onion 🙂

Thank you, I appreciate that 🙏. More to come.

Awesome! You will love it. So beautiful. Glad to see you're putting your foot down!

Thank you! I appreciate that. It's a fantastic trail and I hope to find myself there again. Maybe next year. 🤔

Thank you! There's a reason people flock to this area 🏕🙌

The locals are as beautiful as the scenery. It was one of my biggest takeaways from our time on the trail. We'll be back.

It was my pleasure. A beautiful trail indeed!

Thanks very much. It's a beautiful trail!

The idea is to keep rodents and in particular porcupines and marmots from chewing on things you don't want them chewing on. They seem to like rubber and there's been instances of them chewing on things like brake lines or coolant hoses.

My pleasure! It's a beautiful spot for sure. The first time I went in there was a ton of deadfall and the trail wasn't so great. The second time, they had done a lot more work so there was less route finding. Assuming they keep up the maintenance, the trail up to the meadow is pretty clear. Once you hit the meadow, there is a bit more routefinding but nothing that I would call overly challenging. And sorry, didn't see any signs of Trout.

Thanks Josh! It's a brilliant place. Hope you get a a chance to put boots on trail soon!

So our first attempt was in June and there was still plenty of snow. We made it within about 1km and had to turn back. Our second attempt was in August so now problem then. I've found that there is generally still plenty of snow in June...depending on elevation of course.

Thank you. Great trip, you should definitely put it on the list.

It's absolutely beautiful. I've been there a couple of times now and I would go a third. The trek in is more straight forward now than it was the first time I went in. They did a bunch of trail work a couple of years back wich helps a lot. You still have to ford the river basically right from the car park so choosing the right time of year to go is key. Also, once you arrive up in the meadow you have a choice to make. Head up to the pass and tackle the climb up to the small summit and then back down the other side....or, take on the bushwhacking around the nub and navigate your way through the trees.The first time in I came back through the trees and it was a mess and required some route finding. You'll avoid the elevation if you go through the trees but may find yourself struggling with lots of blowdown etc. I don't have a .gpx for this. I used an old school map and my years of experience in the mountains for navigation.

@@masonlindquist819 Thank you for the info. The nub vs summit is the spot I was curious about. I've heard about ppl get turned around and lost. Also heard all about the blow downs to navigate. I will use an old map I have then and when I go hopefully it will be okay. And I'll go late season when water levels are low. :)

@@cherbeareverywhere you'll be ok. Have a great time...totally worth it!

That's too bad! The river crossing is likely the biggest crux aside from distance and elevation. You likely want to wait until late summer when the water is lower to get across. Though I have been across in early July. It's a stunning place! Thanks for following.

Thank you Gord! It’s a beautiful place indeed.

Thank you Kalvin! Hard to spend enough time out in the mountains. Hope you're getting out.

Road is great. Or at least was when we were there. 2wd no problem. Very nice hike with a good payoff at the end. Thanks for checking out the content ❤️

Thanks Pierre. Just got back from Fording River Pass. Testing the Achilles out. Not bad but not 100%. Moving in the right direction though.

Thanks very much! So glad that summer is finally approaching.

No question, one of my absolute favourite places that I've been. It's a stunner!

You should definitely get in there. One of my favourite places of all time. Using the Fujifilm XT4. Loving its compact size and shoots 4K 60p footage.

Thank you. It’s right around 10-11 km to the meadow as I recall. Elevation was between 500-600. Sorry don’t have my stats in front of me. Away on holidays!

Time to escape the madness!

I just got back. I had a few days to kill so I took my buddy geoff with me this time. Not a soul for 3 days

@@Martyupnorth kinda sounds about perfect! My kinda trip.

Thanks Marty! That day 2 spot was pretty nice. We had planned on camping above Carnarvon as you suggest but thought it may be pretty busy with people so opted for that spot. Turned out to be the right call, and while it cut our day shorter than planned, it worked out just fine.

Thanks Jackie. It was a fun trip! Have to plan the full Elk Range Traverse now.

@@masonlindquist819 Well, don't go without us, because 'solo' is all work and no play!

@@unightie you bet!

Indeed, the rewards are always welcome after you’ve put in the effort. Glad you were there!

We were here for three days. Planning for the full Elk Range Traverse at some point. Unfortunately I have no GPS track to share. Did it old school. Map, compass (didn’t use it), and terrain management.

Thank you I appreciate your comment!

It was a beautiful hike. Dense and overgrown at the beginning hence the call out. And definitely delivered overall.

Thanks! You’re the hero.

Yuki steals the show again! Thanks for watching.

Thank you. We’re jumping back again in August from the U.S border and will be going through to Coleman. So section A. In September we’ll be completing section B also.

Thank you! Camping there is random as you are inside the wildland. It's a very beautiful place and I would hope anyone going in here would be incredibly respectful and practice leave no trace here. There's a perfect water source in a little waterfall here so no problems there.

@@masonlindquist819 by all means, thank you, Mason:)

@@ВиталийЛипатов-ч1у my pleasure! Enjoy.

Thank you so much! Looking to make more video shortly...woohoo!

Thanks for liking and commenting. More vids coming soon. Hoping to get back to the Koots soon!
