Stage 3 of the Rockwall Trail covers 7.7 km from Tumbling Creek to Numa Creek, with 367 m of ascent and 726 m of descent. The highest point is 2,231 m. Allow about 3 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Parks Canada backcountry campground (about 18 tent pads, dry toilets, picnic tables, food storage) in the forest at the foot of the Numa Pass climb. The Numa Creek access trail from Highway 93 is closed until further notice (bridge washout), so in 2026 you can only reach it along the Rockwall; no campfires.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or in guides but could not be checked on an official page. On the trail you may camp only at the Parks Canada backcountry campground named on your permit. Every night must be reserved in advance; random camping is not allowed and there is no overflow camping at Floe Lake.
