In some other parts of the world rocks of this age contain the remains of ancient forests, and have yielded abundant coal resources. By contrast, rocks of this age in the Tumbler Ridge area were formed from sediments deposited on the floor of a balmy, shallow sea, about 20\u02da north of the equator, off the shore of the continent of Laurentia (North American Craton).\u00a0 These limestone rocks are from the Rundle Group \u2013 initially described on Mt Rundle near Banff, Alberta.<\/p>\n<p>The limestone rocks preserve the remains of the creatures that inhabited this offshore sea. We find trilobites, brachiopods, crinoids, blastoids, ammonoids, bivalves, bryozoans, and a variety of invertebrate burrows. The easiest fossils to recognize are the corals, both the solitary (rugose) and colonial (tabulate) forms. These types of corals went extinct at the end of the Permian Period. Some of these can be seen beside the trail near the south-eastern shore of the lake. Please do not remove them, but leave them for others to enjoy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Triassic Sandstone &amp; Fossil Fish&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1442773471531-352a869d-d416&#8243;][vc_column_text]The darker cliffs that form the cirque head-wall behind the lake are composed of sandstone rocks from the Triassic Period (252-201 million years ago). They are from the Sulphur Mountain Formation, also described first form the vicinity of Banff, Alberta. As these cliffs are eroded, rocks tumble down the steep and create extensive talus (scree) slopes below. These slopes are incised by steep, dark-walled gullies.<\/p>\n<p>At this time the super-continent <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pangaea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pangaea<\/a>, surrounded by a super-ocean, was beginning to break up. These sediments were formed offshore, in seas which contained the survivors of the end-Permian mass-extinction event (the \u201cDay-after\u201d fauna). Rocks of similar age and type are today found in such diverse places as Madagascar, Greenland, Spitzbergen, Switzerland and Australia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Old Rocks Atop New Rocks&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1445209887125-7d20a89f-10be&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;37087&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]The junction between the lighter Mississippian limestone rocks and the darker\u00a0 Triassic sandstone rocks can be seen in many areas on the slopes and cliffs above the route. The geology is complex, and there are many good examples of rock tilting and folding. In places this is so extensive that the younger Triassic rocks lie beneath the older Mississippian rocks.<\/p>\n<p>But common to all these contact zone areas is the fact that their rocks differ in age by about 69 million years. In other words, the Permian Period (322-253 years ago) is hardly represented at all \u2013 this is known as a disconformity. During this whole period there was either limited deposition of sediments, or else they were subsequently eroded.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Caves and Icefalls&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1445210490012-ad4998f6-2d60&#8243;][vc_column_text]One of the distinguishing features of limestone rocks is their soluble capacity in water containing dissolved carbon dioxide, yielding caves and tunnels. Hikers may find small explorable limestone grottoes in the rock layers above and below the higher sections of the Circular Route. On the ridge higher up the most impressive caves are found: Sausage Cave, Caribou Cave and Auricle Cave. These are as much as sixty metres deep and contain the only recorded underground icefalls in British Columbia. Entering them requires vertical caving equipment and skills, and is recommended for experts only.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes animals fall into such caves and cannot escape \u2013 Caribou Cave is one such example. The alkaline environment allows for excellent preservation of their remains, yielding information on animal life in the Pleistocene Era.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Underground Outflow&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1445210748248-ba44a928-d26e&#8221;][vc_column_text]The waters of Windfall Lake warm up in late summer and may offer a nice swimming opportunity. In early summer sliding down the snowfields into the recently-melted waters of the lake provides a more bracing experience. Look for ducks on the lake surface \u2013 Barrow\u2019s Goldeneye is usually the most common species.<\/p>\n<p>The trail passes the outflow of the lake. Just a couple of metres after leaving the lake these waters disappear underground, and emerge much lower down in the valley floor. This is a typical feature of\u00a0 limestone terrain.<\/p>\n<p>Above Windfall Lake the Circular Route passes through another bowl, with a small lakelet at the bottom which is lined on one side by limestone cliffs. This bowl is enclosed by slopes on all sides, and is known as a polje. All drainage from this lakelet occurs underground.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-map-marker&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Map&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1442773512718-0cc2aa9c-fa8a&#8221;][vc_gmaps link=&#8221;#E-8_JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbSUyRm1hcHMlMkZkJTJGZW1iZWQlM0ZtaWQlM0R6T29kZVRtaWszdDQua3o3a2tpb0ZHdWZJJTIyJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI4MDAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjI2MDAlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZpZnJhbWUlM0U=&#8221;][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-map-marker&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Google Trekker View&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1505856137631-c0317ae1-40ba&#8221;][vc_gmaps link=&#8221;#E-8_JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbSUyRm1hcHMlMkZlbWJlZCUzRnBiJTNEJTIxMW0wJTIxNHYxNTA1ODU2MTU3NTQyJTIxNm04JTIxMW03JTIxMXMwcW0xdFNBQzF3a3RDY09NR3VjbDFBJTIxMm0yJTIxMWQ1NC45ODcxODMyOTg0MjU4OCUyMTJkLTEyMS42Mzc0NDA1NjIzNzIyJTIxM2YyNTMlMjE0ZjAlMjE1ZjAuNzgyMDg2NTk3NDYyNzQ2OSUyMiUyMHdpZHRoJTNEJTIyODAwJTIyJTIwaGVpZ2h0JTNEJTIyNjAwJTIyJTIwZnJhbWVib3JkZXIlM0QlMjIwJTIyJTIwc3R5bGUlM0QlMjJib3JkZXIlM0EwJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF&#8221;][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-file-pdf-o&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Visitor&#8217;s Guide (PDF)&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1442773704527-4c71ea84-f1bf&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bounce&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblerridgegeopark.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/windfallsep2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblerridgegeopark.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/windfallsep2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tumblerridgegeopark.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/pdf-282x300.png 282w, https:\/\/www.tumblerridgegeopark.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/pdf.png 350w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/trgg.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/pdf-282x300.png\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35522 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"pdf\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 47px) 100vw, 47px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35522 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/trgg.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/pdf-282x300.png\" alt=\"pdf\" width=\"47\" height=\"50\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tumblerridgegeopark.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/pdf-282x300.png 282w, https:\/\/www.tumblerridgegeopark.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/pdf.png 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 47px) 100vw, 47px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6acbf3f642531\" data-id=\"6acbf3f642531\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"10\" data-height-tab=\"10\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_gmaps link=&#8221;#E-8_JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3R5bGUlM0QlMjJ3aWR0aCUzQSUyMDEwMCUyNSUzQiUyMGhlaWdodCUzQSUyMDYwMHB4JTNCJTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZkb2NzLmdvb2dsZS5jb20lMkZndmlldyUzRnVybCUzRGh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LnR1bWJsZXJyaWRnZWdlb3BhcmsuY2ElMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTklMkYxMCUyRndpbmRmYWxsc2VwMjAxOS5wZGYlMjZhbXAlM0JlbWJlZGRlZCUzRHRydWUlMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjEwMCUyNSUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjYwMCUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==&#8221;][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-arrows&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; title=&#8221;Further Destinations&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1445210917736-86e60585-e243&#8243;][vc_column_text]The easiest \u201cbeyond Windfall Lake\u201d destination is the ridge and rounded summit to the south \u2013 this is moderate ascent offers fine views, and leads past some of the caves and an interesting sinkhole.<\/p>\n<p>Ascending Mt Crum, the highest summit in the area, is very rewarding, but is a challenging excursion. \u201cClimbing through the mountain\u201d to the top of <a href=\"http:\/\/trgg.ca\/index.php\/project\/tunnel-mountain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tunnel Mountain<\/a> can just be done in a long day-trip from the trailhead, but is better attempted as an overnight trip, camping near the lake.<\/p>\n<p>Ascending up a steep slope of green vegetation and scree to the top of the ridge behind (west of) the lake and then following the narrow ridge top to gain the high, rounded, unnamed summit at its southeastern end is also feasible.
