Section E of the Great Divide Trail starts at the Icefields Parkway and takes you into a remote landscape with rugged peaks and beautiful lakes like Pinto Lake. The trail traverses three passes, one being the highpoint of the entire long-distance trail. It is located at around 2,600 meters at an unnamed pass with a cairn.

Keep in mind that there is not always a trail, so some route finding skill are required. This section also needs you to ford several creeks and rivers which can be tricky in the afternoon or evening due to melting snow. If you don't feel comfortable, do the fords in the morning when the water level is lower. Due to the remoteness, you can encounter lots of wildlife: marmots, elk, moose, black bears and grizzly bears roam the area.
