This is a very nice hike. We were a little disappointed at the condition of the pictograms. Wish people would not touch them as they have faded dramatically.

A bit harder than described but great hike. It is straight up the creekbed and has Indian pictographs. We had ice still present but could hike on or around it.

great walk, i did it in winter, i was amazed by the beauty of the canyon. loved every minute of it, very relaxingto sit an chill listening to the quiet, huge mountains surrounding can be majestic

Ryan and Jack were very informative guides showing us the First Nation painting amongst other things. You don't really need a guide to do this walk, just make sure you have... More

Took a little wander around in Jan. Frozen and beautiful......easy to get to, well worth the visit. Great for all ages

I did this trail for the first time in winter and liked it very much. Most of the trail can be done directly in the creek this time of the year. I'll do it again next summer, as some places were inaccessible because it was very slippery. I put my spikes sometimes, it's worth it if you have some. Icy... More

I have hiked this trail three times in the last 3 months and each time I see something different that I missed before. The hike is up a dry stream-bed (in the late spring and early summer, in any event) to increasingly higher canyon walls and a beautiful waterfall. The polished rocks can be slippery, even when dry and I... More
