Hi Folks

We travelled from Ottertail Fire Road to Goodsir Pass. For the time being, this trail has not yet been maintained. Countless logs/trees/brush across the path, made the journey up the valley and over the Pass very arduous.
Mc Arthur camp, along the way, is rustic. Using it's outhouse requires an adventurous spirit, as the rotting structure has a definite lean backwards.
The last accessible water source before going up and over Goodsir Pass, is shortly after Mc Arthur Camp, at the bridge crossing Ottertail River.

Of note: if hiking the Great Divide Trail is on your agenda, consider extra travel time for the Goodsir/ Ottertail segment.

From Helmet Falls along the entire Rockwall Trail to Floe Lake, expect areas with muddy sections, water on the trail, and some snow patches to cross.
The main theme along the whole trail however was fallen logs, which there were plenty to climb over.

All necessary bridges are in, along the Rockwall Trail.
When coming down from Tumbling Pass into Numa Valley, two small, shallow, but fast flowing drainage creeks need to be forded. Watch your footing there.

Thanks to the Parks Canada Crew, for providing a freshly maintained Floe Lake Trail. It made travel along this path very easy.

As a reminder, both Tumbling Creek Trail and Numa Creek Trail are closed, due to bridges out.
However, Tumbling Creek / Numa Creek Campsites are open along the Rockwall Trail, and in good condition, as are Helmet Falls - and Floe Lake Camp.

The scenery made the treck worthwhile.

Happy Trails, Martina
