Paint Pots
Near the confluence of Vermillion River and Ochre Creek is an area of ochre beds, known as paint pots. Oxides and hydroxides of iron stain everything red, brown, orange and yellow. It was mined by aboriginal people for ochre paint, and then mined in more recent times. The red of CPR boxcars may have come from here. Now it is part of Kootenay National Park in eastern British Columbia.

Cette randonnée de 1,6 km aller-retour nous amène dans un magnifique canyon composé de gorges profondes dans lesquelles s'écoule une rivière aux eaux turquoises.
Plusieurs ponts enjambent le canyon, permettant ainsi d'obtenir d'excellentes vues du paysage environnant.
Des panneaux d'interprétation, érigés à différents endroits le long du sentier, expliquent comment cette rivière a creusé son chemin à travers le calcaire pendant toutes ces années, créant ainsi cet étroit et profond canyon.
En 2003, un important feu de forêt a sévi dans ce secteur. On peut d'ailleurs encore y observer de grands arbres brûlés qui se tiennent encore debout.
A la fin du sentier se trouve une belle cascade. On peut l'observer à partir du pont qui traverse la rivière juste au-dessus de celle-ci.
La végétation est très colorée dans ce secteur, rendant ainsi le paysage encore plus agréable à regarder.

1 WEEK IN KOOTENAY NATIONAL PARK | HIKING & CAMPING & HOT SPRINGS | ROTR Week 2
Hi! We are Zach & Julie & Kobe Ruhl, the creators of Ruhls of the Road! We are launching this YouTube channel to document our adventure living out of our Do It Yourself CamperVan - Winnie! Winnie is an absolute beauty of a vehicle - a 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan who loves living the van life.
We have been living the van life since December 2018, and have been loving every day exploring, adventuring, hiking, camping, and doing the darn thing!
Every week, we are posting a brief recap of the previous week showing all of the cool and crazy shenanigans we got ourselves into that week! There will be some tears, some laughs, some scrapes & bruises, and a whole lot of adventure along the way.
This video is recapping our time in...drum roll please...Kootenay National Park! One of the most BEAUTIFUL national parks north of the United States border in Canada!
Hiking and Camping in Kootenay National Park has been a FANTASTIC experience. Why? A few reasons!
- First off, the trails in the park are wonderful. We hiked the Dog Lake Trail, Paint Pots Trail, and Stanley Glacier Trail all in 2 glorious days.
- Second, the Hot Springs. Radium Hot Springs is located on the main road through the park, and is one of the most FUN hot springs we've ever been to! They have a HUGE hot pool, an even BIGGER cold pool, and a diving board and two slides! Also, they have showers, which we needed after finishing those hikes...
- Third, they allow dogs! If you ask us, the United States is behind on this one, not allowing dogs in National Parks. Our chihuahua Kobe LOVES to get out on the trails, and he gets to in Canada!
- Fourth - We saw our first bald eagle in 6 months! The first 6 months were spent in the USA and we didn't see an eagle until we got to Canada... figures.

About Zach & Julie:
We first found out each other had a passion for travel when we started dating, and set off on our first trip together to sunny San Diego after only dating for a few short weeks! You really learn who someone is when you travel with them... Everything started off great with a delayed flight and lost baggage (the only reason Zach has broken Julie’s terrible overpacking habits and convinced her to become a backpacker gal) but we bonded the rest of the time over sunsets, bike rides, seafood and strong coffee. We were quickly hooked to the feeling of exploring a new place and found ourselves planning our next trip before returning home from the last.
Starting in January 2019, we purchased a 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan MV and are making the road our home! We spent 2 months converting our van (Winnie) into our home, with a TON of help from YouTube tutorials, and of course some help from Zach's handyman pops. Now every day is a new adventure!

4 Days on The Rockwall Trail - Kootenay National Park, BC
The Rockwall Trail in British Columbia’s Kootenay National Park could easily be one of the finest multiday treks in the world, let alone Canada. The pristine 55.6 km trail leads you over 3 high mountain passes and under 30 km of an almost unbroken wall of limestone cliffs towering 900m straight up.
We did the trail in four days and three nights, starting from the Floe Creek Trailhead. Because we planned the hike in mid-September, in shoulder season, we expected to encounter snow and cold temperatures. We were shocked on day one that we didn’t encounter a single follow hiker and the temperatures at Floe Lake dipped down to -10. However, as we continued with the trek, we found much more pleasant weather and many, many hiking parties.
We fully recommend this trek to anyone who can handle a challenge and doesn’t mind some gruelling elevation gain/loss. Obviously because of it’s location, you should bring bear spray. We encountered a large Grizzly near Wolverine Pass. It fled from us as soon as it heard us, but it’s always nice to know you have a backup plan in a can, just in case.
When planning it, remember, The Rockwall trail is not a loop, after hiking it you will be 13 km from where you began. Two vehicles or hitchhiking will be needed to get you from one trailhead to the other. We hitchhiked before we started, so we would end up right at our vehicle.

Floe Lake Trailhead to Floe Lake Campground
Distance: Approx. 10.7 km
Elevation Gain: 700 m (2300 feet)
