RE: Burgess Shale: A Yoho Hike

in #neoxian2 years ago

Hey Dave! To get there it's a fairly decent accent, (which i came down, and it took just over two hours.) So, i would guess getting there would take about mby 3-4.5 hours round trip. The protected shale area is close once you get thru the tough accent. It's fairly flat after that. It's very easy to access the Burgess Pass route off of the Emerald Lake Trail when you go the forest route past Cabin 33. It was a great day of hiking! I am still tired. Lol

Sort:  

If you take out the part of going to Yoho lake, still super worth it? Reason being is that I've been there already and it was great in fact.

Yes. Wish i had more time to spend at the lake and more time to search for fossils. It's a rewarding hike. A treasured experience.

The beauty is really mindblowing in full bloom summer anyway. Could not have been more perfect. Verrrry sacred place. The trail up from Emerald seems like it once was traveled by horse, the trail seemed so ancient. Who knows tho, i don't!! Haha, it's insanely lush and there's water flowing beneath in spots. I hope you get a chance to do it. Gosh, it will be a steep one. I hope you're ready!!! Lol

The trail up from Emerald seems like it once was traveled by horse, the trail seemed so ancient. Or at least it took great effort to create the trail. Who knows tho, i don't!!
