Description
Part 3 of a 6 part show, essentially, this segment of the High Rim has obscured views and crosses multiple roads. With only Wrinkly Face Provincial Park to distinguish it in memory, this segment is a bit of a trudge when doing the through hike. There is not a lot of ascent nor descent on this segment as the route usually follows the topographical lines closely. There is some elevation gain/loss near the north end just south of The Monolith but very little in other parts. Most viewpoints are obscured by the slope of the hill or by tree foliage.
