Mount Field, Yoho Park June 25, 2019<\/p><\/div>\n

Mount Field Yoho Upper Rockband Crux June 25, 2019 Note cairn\/ vertical rock to left of Kev. Walked between snow and wall.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mount Field Yoho Park<\/p>\n

About 1400 m total and 17.6 km RT. 5 hrs up for me and 3 down<\/p>\n

We parked at Field info center<\/strong> and went across the road and found good well used shortcut trail (on grassy slope about 100 m East) to intersect the Burgess pass trail. This is shorter and better than parking at Burgess pass trailhead.<\/p>\n

Some blow down trees\/logs over trail but that may be dealt with soon according to wardens. No snow except after junction with trail from Emerald lake there was some ankle deep in trees.<\/p>\n

Take the Yoho Lake\/Wapta trail (still in trees) which gradually goes down but leave trail at a small square red survey flag and follow the crest of the treed ridge until hit tree line (versus going to the curve. – saves\u00a0 some elevation and distance loss and puts you on best ascent ridge with trail)<\/strong><\/p>\n

See pic above for route above tree line which leads to gully (marked with cairn above)with some easy moves and much easier gully than whatever I went up 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

Most higher peaks around still have snow and need some time.<\/p>\n
