Itinerary:

This is not a trip for beginners! There is significant elevation/distance on this trip!

The Rockwall is a 55 KM long trail in Kootenay National Park. This is what DONT WASTE YOUR TIME IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES has to say about it: "The trail slams up against a stone monolith, glides through meadows, dip under glaciers, and whips past lakes and waterfalls".
Sounding good? Yes, except that I don't have 5 consecutive days to hike it!
So I decided to hike the Rockwall in 2 parts: Part one on August long weekend (3 days, 2 nights), and part 2 (THIS TRIP) on the August 8 and 9 weekend (2 days, 1 night).'br" PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR THIS EVENT, YOU ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY SIGNED UP FOR THE AUGUST LONG WEEKEND TRIP: PART 1 OF THE ROCKWALL IS A SEPARATE EVENT
