Canada Floe Lake, Left Side Ridge

Floe Lake is one of these super stunning backcountry places in the Rockies and still a hidden gem, not busy by tourists but mostly by locals. Its fascinating lake wall of Floe Peak is truly hard to comprehend in beauty.

Make sure to get a person and the trees in one frame - if you have color matching makes sense here. A super wide angle is def. needed at this place.

In order to get to this amazing spot, several steps being needed.

Either, you tackle this hike on a day hike and return by the end of the day, or you being the lucky person of getting a backcountry camping permit for the nearby Floe Lake Campground. This campground sells out early in the year. However, check with Parks Canada reservations for spontaneous cancellations to reserve yourself a spot at this fantastic place.

The hike is around 10km and 900m elevation gain. Parking is free but limited at that small trailhead parking.

Always be aware of bear behavior and carry bear spray!
