The Iceline Trail is Yoho Valley's best one day hiking trail (and one of my favourites in all of BC!) Usually hiked as a 20km loop, this amazing trail showcases breathtaking alpine panoramas, spectacular waterfalls and lush subalpine meadows.

The Iceline loop is a combination of these trails:

• Takakkaw Falls to Yoho Lake Trail (first 1km clockwise)

• Yoho Lake Trail (next 2.6km)

• Iceline Trail (following 7.8km)

• Little Yoho Valley Trail (next 4.9km)

• Yoho Valley Trail (final 4.5km back to Takakkaw Falls)

The total distance is 20.8km with 710m elevation gain. I rate it firmly moderate/intermediate as it is a straightforward hiking trail but you do need to be prepared to hike all day, up to 8/9 hours. More information in my Iceline hiking guide.

The trail starts and finishes in the Takakkaw Falls parking lot, at the end of the Yoho Valley Road.

A Parks Canada parks pass is required to hike this trail ($22/day for a vehicle of up to 7 people).
