HIKING TO KOKANEE LAKE | Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park | British Columbia
Saturday June 29th, 2019! For the weekend, we took a spontaneous road trip vacation north to Nelson, BC. Throughout the trip we goofed around, ate bad, and visited Ainsworth Hot Springs as well.
This video showcases our hike to Kokanee Lake in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. It was awesome and a very scenic hike. The Trailhead to this hike begins at Gibson Lake in which we car camped in the night before, which was just as scenic as Kokanee Lake minus the 4.5km/2.9mi hike! You can see Gibson Lake in the very last shot of this video.
We made it to Kokanee Lake in right around two hours. It wasn’t a bad hike at all. Once there, we planned on trekking onwards to Kaslo Lake, but due to weather we decided to turn around and head back for the car. This hike is definitely recommended if you’re in the area.
All in all, this hike took us 3.5 hours to complete and that was with stopping multiple times to eat, breathe, and take in the scenery. We gained 1423 feet and descended 1465 feet.

Backpacking Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park
Clay and I head into Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park in British Columbia's Kootenays for a night with Mystery Guest #1. We camped at Kaslo Lake. After setting up camp we head up the Glacier Toe Trail for a disappointing view of a sliver of glacier. We might have explored more, but the sun was getting low and our stomachs were rumbling.
The next day we head to Saphire Lakes, and then up Mt Geigerich
and Nansen Mountain.
Then it was a hike out.
Then we head to Kaslo to meet up with Mystery Guest #2. You can check out his channel at
(yes, it looks sparse right now, but he will go back to creating soon)
On day three we head into Cody caves, 20 minutes out of Kaslo and just a little ways above Ainsworth Hotsprings for a day of spelunking.
Special thanks to the other Carley for donating photos, and to Carl for giving us a place to pitch the tents.
