hey guys it's Papa Steve on the Move welcome back to the channel if you're into camping and
backpacking gear reviews and travel then this is the place to be why don't you go ahead and
subscribe to the channel so you don't miss anything this week I'm in Yoho National Park
hiking around I've got a few days out here in the mountains surrounded by glaciers I'm going
to spend a couple nights here at the Twin Falls Back Country campsites I'm going to take you guys
around show you what to expect when you arrive here really nice place right on the river foreign
falls back Country Campground is a quiet Forest enclosed Campground located next to the Yoho River
and it's just a one and a half kilometer hike away from the Magnificent Twin Falls
this Campground is a logical stopover point for someone wishing to hike the whale back Loop or
to see more of the Yoho Valley the trailhead is at the takaka Falls parking lot at the end of
the Yoho Valley Road near field BC warning the Yoho Valley Road is usually only open
from late June to mid-october check the Yoho National Park trail report webpage or contact
the parks Canada Visitor Center before making a reservation and before starting your trip
the hike in is about six kilometers long and about 150 meters in elevation so it makes
an excellent base camp to explore the Twin Falls Chalet Marple lake or the Yoho glacier
the trail is wide and Crosses over the Yoho River by bridge in a couple areas you can stop
for a break and enjoy the Laughing Falls after the first four kilometers if you intend to do
the Ice Line Trail first from The Whiskey Jack hostel and then loop back along the whale back
this is an ideal stop before hiking back to the parking lot the next day as I did there are many
beautiful lakes nearby and plenty of waterfalls making this area a worthwhile Day hike too
so hey guys done hiking for today I was uh my spirits were somewhat dampened by some rain on
the hike in from the little Yoho campsite I holed up for a few hours at the um Twin Falls Chalet now
the Chalet is closed but it was a great place to stay dry and wait out the rain and now I've
arrived here at the uh the next campsite here at little at Twin Falls and the backcountry site the
sun is out it's dry my tent set up and now I'm thinking about maybe going out for an evening
hike so never know what the mountain weather will throw at you in this place there are eight ten
sites available all located along the Yoho River many of these are really beautiful however fires
are not permitted be sure to bring a stove if you intend to cook any meals make sure you stroll
around and pick the site you like the best some of the campsites are really nice with benches in
them and all of them are in close proximity to the river all the food storage and eating areas
are directly beside the river keep your food Out Of Reach where the Park wildlife will be sure
to get into it plenty of Critters around looking for a handout food storage is your typical cable
and pole hanging variety so be sure to pack a waterproof food bag and a carabiner there is
one pit toilet located on the south side of the campground when you enter from The Laughing Falls
so hey guys that's it that's the Twin Falls Back Country campsite really makes
a very fine base camp to hike around this area surrounded by glaciers and
waterfalls what more could you ask for if you have any questions leave them
