Rob and Jude this week did Burstall to see the larch changing on a classic Canadian Rockies day hike. They biked in and out 3km each direction, saving that time for a nap in the sunshine at the Pass.
Elevation Gain: 451 m (1,480 ft).
Great views once on top, with lots of opportunities for further hiking or scrambling.
I would grade this trail as difficult only if Burstall Creek is high (eg. late afternoon, early summer). Otherwise it is a good trail of average to moderate difficulty.
Here are some inspiring photos of the hike and sidetrip scramble of Snow Peak.
