★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stunning scenery the whole way along. Need more signage at the beginning as we weren't the only ones to miss the trail and have to make a 1k detour away from French Glacier

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went 3 weeks ago. Cold & sunny snowshoeing to the meadows & back. Packed trail but snowshoes came in handy in a lot of areas. Did not go past the meadows, as that is avalanche terrain. Nice day!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great hike thru Burstall Pass into Banff NP. Scenery is everywhere, from the flatish forest path, thru alluvial plains (bring water shoes), then start the climb up to mountain vistas. Not a hard hike but may be too long, in & out trail, for people not in good shape. If you sneak into Banff Park it could easily add over ten more km to your day.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely amazing hike. When I did last year the creek running through the trail was quite large, resulting in a large portion of the trail being flooded and difficult to cross. Using some fallen logs I was able to make it across but on the way out did get wet. Would recommend doing this hike towards the end of summer, maybe into the fall. Creek would likely be lower at that time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here on a Sunday morning around 8:40AM, not many cars parked. Started the hike 5 minutes to 9AM, first part is pretty flat and then after the stream area, the hike goes into the trees and starts going uphill. Not too bad but pretty muddy in a lot of spots. View at the top was pretty great, lots of mountains and larches! Took about 2 hours to get up, saw lots of people on the way down, many cars in the parking lot by the time we got down close to 2PM.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a great hike but it's definitely worth it to wait until July as there are still muddy and snowy sections this late in June. The Burstall River was too flooded to cross at this point in the year; we turned around at this point. It was still an incredible and easy hike to do. It's important to note that the trail goes off to the right in the 2nd photo I've posted, fairly soon after starting the hike. We initially followed the well-groomed rock path which didn't lead to a trail. It lead to Frenchman's Creek.
