Thank you very much, a lot of information. We flew from Thailand. On 8 July 2018, I was at the trailhead But could not cross the first river, because the water is so deep. I walked along the river for another 0.5 mile but could not find any place shallow enough to cross. So the hike was canceled, So sad. Me and my wife still want to go there to complete the hike haha. Canada is too beautiful,
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.
Thanks so much for this video! I apreacite all the effort you put in. Im hoping to head there this summer, looks like a much better trail than what i expected. Just wonderingif you saw any trout in the lakes while you were there?
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.
This place is so pretty. I regret not going a few years ago. I need to do Limestone next year. Love the vido. This place doesn't disappoint. Hopefully the trek in is mostly straight forward. Do you have a .gpx for this? There's one spot that I have a question about. Nice to see the terrain and steeper sections in this video. Thank you for posting this.
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. :)
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.
Thank you very much, a lot of information.

This is incredible to watch! Thanks so much. I’m hoping to visit here soon
Thanks Josh! It's a brilliant place. Hope you get a a chance to put boots on trail soon!
Amazing! Unbelievably gorgeous - great job!
Thank you Neil! It’s a beauty out there.
Nicely done. I hope I have the opportunity to do the trip some day...
Thank you. Great trip, you should definitely put it on the list.
I love every clip about this adventure. New subscriber here
Thank you so much! Looking to make more video shortly...woohoo!
Man what a beautiful adventure this was. You showed us all the best parts Mason: from the karst to the peak plumes!
It sure was! Such a beautiful place.

Beautiful area. I've looked down at it from Mt Joffre but never got there.
No question, one of my absolute favourite places that I've been. It's a stunner!

@@cherbeareverywhere you'll be ok. Have a great time...totally worth it!
I'm super curious - what was the purpose for the wire around the vehicles?
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.
Just “wow”!
It’s pretty incredible 🙌
Awesome footage. I've only been into the edges of Height of the Rockies, but would love to explore it more. What are you using for a camera?
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.
Prachtig
Epic adventure! Once in a lifetime trip right there. I've been dreaming of doing this. Do you mind sharing your route or where you got your beta from?
Hey Taylor. I don’t mind at all. I’ve been in there a couple times now. Super beautiful! You on Instagram? You could DM me
@@masonlindquist819 thanks! I messaged you on IG. I'm HikeForMiles
