Privato Winery & Woodward Cider Co. Had to be a Kamloops visit destination while I was in the area. They have comfortable outside and a rustic inside seating to enjoy the offerings. Skilled and informative staff are happy to describe everything as well. I was informed of the great seasonal events they have.

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at Privato Winery. Mackenzi and Candace were amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable, and they made the wine and cider tasting such an enjoyable experience. We felt welcomed the entire time and truly appreciated how well they explained everything. Would definitely recommend!

Great destination for fall fun and fine wine! The environment is absolutely gorgeous, and the pumpkin patch is always a lovely tradition. While the cider wasn't a hit, the wine is superb. It was a bonus to have a great vendor on site to eat, making it easy pair and enjoy a glass of wine or cider right before or after picking our pumpkins. We'll be back for the wine and the views!

I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to the amazing team at Privato Winery. I had bought a Mother’s Day tasting for my mum and me through their website, but a few days before, I saw a woman selling a gift basket on Facebook Marketplace. I thought I scored a deal—but unfortunately, it turned out to be a scam. The confirmation number she gave me wasn’t even close to the real ones Privato uses… So annoying but my own fault. Sidney and Catalina were nothing but kind and patient. They looked at the message I got and told me they think I had been scammed. And here’s where they completely blew me away: instead of turning us away (which they honestly could have done, because none of this was their fault), they rallied together and helped us. They put together a basket for us right there on the spot and turned what could’ve been a disappointing afternoon into something really special. The wine was incredible, the ciders were so good, the charcuterie was delicious, and the entertainment was just the cherry on top. But more than that, it was the kindness of the people that made the day perfect. Thank you Sidney, Catalina, and everyone at Privato. You went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful. You gave my mum and me a beautiful memory we’ll never forget.

Beautiful winery. Stopped by for a cider and wine tasting. The gardens are very nice. Tasting area is very spread out. Lots of sun and shade options. Pet friendly area. Cornhole and ladder ball.

We had a fantastic time at privato winery! Maya was AMAZING. She was so sweet and talkative and clearly cares a lot about her job. We even signed up to be members during this experience!! Thanks so much!

A delightful vineyard just a short drive from town, offering wonderful wine and cider. Tastings start at $10, depending on your selection. The overall experience and atmosphere are truly fantastic—highly recommend! 🍷🌾

We visited the provincial park area for the day - you can easily miss the turn off, so keep your eyes peeled for the signs or follow google maps. Lots of parking and area for a boat launch. Beautiful camp sites with a shared outhouse. Day use area has a few picnic tables and you can walk down the trail and there are a few pictures tables along the walk as well. Water was clean and warm, but lots of lake weeds maybe 15 feet out from the shore. We tried a few different swimming spots, and we found the best area with the least amount of weeds was around the boat launch area. It is a bit soft and muddy, so would recommend wearing water shoes. Not too busy, maybe 7 people swimming on a hot day - people coming and going to swim, boat, canoe, kayak, paddle board - lovely lake overall and would return for a nice swim!

We didn't originally plan to stay here but when other plans didn't work out we found enough campsites here. The area is gorgeous, great lake for kayaking etc. Clean campsite with a very helpful and friendly park operator! Check out the nearby Ice Caves Trail for a great easy very interesting hike. There are also stores nearby to pick up anything needed.

It was small,only about 20 sites. Very well kept, sites were a nice size. Very level no leveling blocks needed this trip.

Beauty at its best! Great fishing, great swimming spots, just please remember to rinse off your boats before putting them in our fresh waters people! We don't want invasive anything in our beautiful lakes!!!

Nice and quite. The crystal clear lake is great for swimming and fishing. The day area are nice and clean. Will definitely be back.

Another great fishing adventure 1 Kokanee and one rainbow

Love it. The majority of the sites are oriented for RVs but there are walk in sites at the end of the parking lot by the lake for tents and hammock campers. We rolled down the path and stayed at one of those. There’s trees spaced well down below so we could hang our hammock set ups. Sorry didn’t get photos of the set up. Oops one thing to remember is there is no water there except the lake. Lol. But just a couple of minutes down the road is bridge lake store and they have everything you need. Water, beer, firewood etc and fair prices. This is important for motorcycles because we can’t carry as much as a minivan. The campsite representative had fire wood as well. Beautiful place the Loons sing all night. Lol. Trails to walk lake to swim when it’s warm. Great break on a Cariboo Loop.

We were visiting family in Sun Peaks who been dog sledding last year and loved it. We went on the hour long tour and can say it was the highlight of our holiday. Chris collected us from the village and drove us up to the base. All of the dogs are clearly loved and well cared for and enjoy their work pulling the sleds. We had time to meet and stroke our sled team before the tour and then afterwards time to stroke all the dogs and meet the amazing litter of puppies - just adorable!! Travelling through the forest was simply breathtaking and we stopped at the lake for photos. Our guides Tempe and Andrew were friendly, informative and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend this experience - thank you all so much for such a special and unforgettable experience!

Unforgettable Dog Sledding Adventure at Sun Peaks– A Must-Do Experience! From start to finish, this dog sledding experience was nothing short of magical! The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a team of energetic, well-cared-for huskies and knowledgeable guides who made us feel welcome and excited for the journey ahead. The sled ride itself was absolutely breathtaking—gliding through a pristine winter wonderland, surrounded by snow-covered trees and crisp mountain air, was like something out of a dream. The dogs were incredible, full of enthusiasm and strength, and it was heartwarming to see how much they love running. What truly stood out was the opportunity to interact with the dogs! Thanks so much for the experience!

We had amazing experience with Mountain Man Dog Sled Adventures. Taryn made a last minute booking very easy. Chris was very friendly and knowledgeable. Liam made our sled ride enjoyable. The scenery was magnificent. But it’s the dogs that steal the show. They clearly love being on the trail and there was plenty of time to interact with them after. Meeting the puppies was also a highlight. We would recommend the experience. Chris and his team clearly love the dogs and the experiences they create for guests.

Joe took us on a fun Jeep tour through the Sun Peaks mountain range, including to McGillivray Lake, and a couple other lake spots. It was beautiful scenery the whole time, and we saw some wildlife on the drive! Joe is very knowledgeable about the area and can answer all your questions. And we appreciate Taryn's help to book us specially before the official tourism season begins - thank you!

Our dog sled expedition was absolutely incredible! The dogs were well-trained and full of energy, and the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. The stunning winter landscapes made the ride feel like something out of a dream. Everything was well-organized. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure in the snow! 💯💯💯

We had the amazing experience of dog sledding with Chris and Tarin from Mountain Man Adventure Tours in Sun Peaks. Under the guidance of Liam we sledded through the most spectacular mountains with picture perfect views. The dogs are extremely friendly and love what they do - running! Thanks for this once in a life time experience. 🥰🇨🇦

I booked the ‘ Into the Wild Dog Sled Tour’ for a unique birthday experience. This was a great experience! The dogs are so friendly and love what they do! The owners are really passionate about their dogs and ensure they are healthy and well looked after. A great company and experience overall!

When our booking at a different RV park fell through, we contacted Chinook Cove and they were able to accommodate us. SO happy they did! We now have a favourite spot for camping with full hookups. Everything is very clean (including the onsite showers/bathrooms) and the staff are wonderful. The golf course is a hidden gem! We will definitely be back!

We finally decided to stop and look at this place instead of driving by as we usually do. The young men in the clubhouse were super friendly and helpful. The campground turns out to be very quiet and large enough to accommodate pretty much any size of rv. Very strong wi-fi signal in campground. The golf course was beautifully manicured and was very fun to play while offering a challenge as well. We walked the course on this visit but next time we will use a power cart as there is a lot of elevation changes here which make the walk a little more of a workout.

What a terrific find! This gem of a golf course was in great shape, course is well laid out and was a terrific introduction to golf for a beginner while still challenging a lower handicapper. Tons of parking for a couple truck/trailers. Will definitely repeat.

Lovely little 9 hole golf course. The staff are friendly. Less capable golfers are sure to lose balls on several holes. Green fees are reasonable.

A beautiful 9 hole course 2 par 5, 2 par 3 . Great food ,RV camping , a beautiful setting. I have been enjoying this course for over 20 years. 3341 yards , please go and enjoy.

Nice Gem of a nine hole course. Gets backed up on a couple of holes with 3 groups waiting but it was still under 2 hour nine hole round.

Always a super awesome time at Chinook Cove. Really nice course and the staff feel like friends.

This is the perfect place to start if you're visiting Wells Gray Provincial Park. You’ll get all the info you need, and the staff are super friendly and helpful with maps and tips on what to see and do. There’s also a cute little souvenir shop, clean washrooms, and even a food truck outside. This spot really helps make your trip easier and more fun.

Really nice visitor centre! The staff were friendly and helpful, and there was lots of info about the park. They had maps, souvenirs, and even a little shop. Beautiful spot, and there was a food stand just outside too!

Stopped at Wells Grey Provincial Park to stretch our legs on route to Jasper National Park - and it really is worth the stop! The visitor centre is an excellent place to start, with lots of information on the different things to see and do, we could easily plan our visit and decide what we had time to see. Plus there is a coffee van parked right outside… perfect! :) The park itself is beautiful, well kept and signposted and without the crowded of the National Parks. Highly recommend a visit here!

At the Wells Gray Park Visitor Information Center, I saw something, I have never seen before at any other park service, including National Parks. They had a tip jar on their counter. ....your job is to provide information and customer service. You get paid or volunteer to do so. The tipping mindset of places that aren't restaurants serving you food at a table is becoming too much and honestly ridiculous. The place does have merchandise, ice cream, and coffee to purchase.

A Truly Exceptional Experience – Wells Gray Info Centre Over the years, my wife and I have visited countless visitor centres, and more often than not, they’re exactly what you’d expect: basic information, a few brochures, and a staff member who’s likely answered the same handful of questions a thousand times before. But the Wells Gray Information Centre was something else entirely. What set it apart was Hailey. From the moment we walked in, she went above and beyond to help us create an unforgettable experience in Clearwater and the surrounding area. Her knowledge was incredible — not just the popular highlights, but also the hidden gems that only a true local would know. Every recommendation felt personal, thoughtful, and spot-on. She also pointed us toward Liquid Lifestyles, located just at the end of the parking lot — and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip. In a time when genuine customer service can feel like a thing of the past, Hailey reminded us how impactful it is when someone truly cares about what they do. Her energy, enthusiasm, and insight turned what could’ve been a quick stop into one of the best parts of our vacation. Thank you for making our trip so special. If more people brought this level of care to their work, the world would be a better place.

Very informative. Great place to stopandfood truck outside.

Staff are friendly and suggestions they gave are very informative. Food truck in parking lot is a must visit place to try out food bowls.

Gorgeous waterfall. Very easy access to the viewing platform from the parking lot. We arrived around 11am on a late July weekend and there’s already some people there. There’s plenty of room on the viewing platform to fit all the visitors. Great view of the canyon.

Great little park for a quick stop while driving. Park seems to be handicapped accessible, with new benches and a clean trail going to the falls overlook.

DON’T miss the tiny brown sign to the right, look for the giant HOT DOG sign to the left to park and do a quick hike to view the falls. If you do happen to miss the parking lot for Sapp Falls, just carry on the road up to the next parking lot. The hike is approximately a kilometer and a half mostly down and can be challenging, but will definitely get your heart beating if you need that as a stop on the road. The fall are absolutely spectacular to see.

I am so incredibly glad we decided to pull over and stop at Spahats Creek Falls during our drive through Clearwater! What an absolute gem this place is. From the moment you arrive, you can tell it's well cared for. The trail leading to the falls is exceptionally well done and maintained, making for an easy and pleasant walk. The initial view as you approach the main area is nothing short of breathtaking – a deep, impressive canyon stretches out before you, hinting at the grandeur to come. But just a little further around, you reach the main viewing area, and that's where the magic truly happens. The falls themselves are absolutely stunning and incredibly interesting to behold. Spahats Creek Falls truly stands out because the water seems to burst directly out of a hidden cave in the side of the canyon wall! It's such a unique geological feature and immediately piqued my interest, making me wonder exactly where that water is coming from deep within the rock. Overall, this was a fantastic stop that exceeded all expectations. If you're driving through Clearwater, do yourself a favor and experience the beauty and mystery of Spahats Creek Falls!

Beautiful falls, but picnic tables were still put away so we had to picnic on the ground. signage was hard to see. Beautiful picnic tables to.

Easy short walk to this beautiful waterfall. What an amazing area! Lots of parking.

Spahats creek falls is in a canyon that connects to a valley and it sits in amongst the clouds. Great parking for all. Washrooms on site including pit toilets and running toilets. Trail is very easy to walk. Defiantly worth stopping and feeling the power nature has here.

Very accessible. They have parkinf for car & RV/ campers. Toilets re available everywhere. This waterfall is gorgeous & amazing. A must to visit & trekking there. U can trekking further to the end of the trail. Really nice view & less tourists.

Helmcken Falls offers a stunning view with its dramatic drop into a deep canyon. The viewpoint is just a short, flat walk from the parking lot, making it easily accessible for all visitors. There are restroom facilities near the lot, and the viewing platform gives clear, wide views of the falls and surrounding cliffs. On a good day, the mist rising from the base adds to the atmosphere. If you're anywhere near Clearwater, it’s definitely worth pulling over for.

Beautiful waterfall surrounded by rock formations formed due to volcano, been here multiple times during winter and during spring and the waterfall always surprises with its views. Must visit if driving to Jasper/mount Robson/clearwater if driving along hwy-5 and there is lots of camp sites / RV sites and Cabins available in and around hwy-5.

Very spectacular waterfall!!! We went in late July and the fall was still pretty awesome!! We arrived VERY early in the morning around 6am, we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves.

This breathtaking waterfall deserves every bit of the attention and appreciation. One of the most wonderful waterfalls and places gives to us by the mother nature!

Canada's 4th highest waterfall. This is such a great place to visit. Amazing views from the platform. Helmcken Falls is beautiful. Really recommend this place for a visit.

Incredible waterfall! Easy to access, and the view is absolutely stunning. A must-visit spot in Wells Gray Park.

A truly wonderful trip. We went on a 3 hour evening ride with my wife and 2 sons accompanied by Sarah, Darcy, and Lucy. We explored the ranch which was a beautiful mixture of rolling hills, forest, and streams. At the end we stopped by the river for dinner made in an old 19th century wagon, an unforgettable experience. The team looked after us really well, with beautiful and healthy horses, and a strong focus on our safety. Highly recommended.

I did a two-hour afternoon ride with Sarah, and it was a great experience! The team was incredibly accommodating and professional from start to finish, and everything felt well organized. The ride itself was really interesting... the landscape and habitat were beautiful, and Sarah shared lots of insight that made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was excellent, the horses were clearly well cared for, and the price was reasonable for the experience. Highly recommend!

A great memory for two horse novices. Darcy our guide was authentic, charming, helpful and humorous. The ride exceeded our expectations in terms of what we did and where he took us. The trail ride was pretty with dramatic scenery and a mix of meadows, slopes, woods, even a bit by the river. Highly recommended !!! As a hint don’t arrive in shorts, you will be wearing riding boots and going through real country with trees, bushes etc so have sensible leg coverings

We messaged them one day in advance and I got a reply within 10 minutes that they will make the ride work! Super easy, well organized ride. Our boys didn’t have any experience and it was such a great experience for them. We really enjoyed it and would recommend it to everyone! Thank you so much for the beautiful experience

Very nice and relaxing experience close by nature. Friendly, helpfull people and the lunch next to the river completes the nice experience. Would reccomend

Had an amazing Day. Very professional staff who were knowledgeable and made us feel at home. You won't be disappointed. We will be back. Peace on 4 legs.

We had an amazing morning at the vavenby trail rides. Myself and my partner had never been on a horse before and thought we would give it a try. We was greeted by Sarah and Antonia from Germany with smiles and a warm welcome, the horses were already out and ready to go. So we kitted up and after a few simple instructions off we went. The horses were so easy to control and so well behaved, any worries I had soon went. The trails around the ranch were breath taking and after a long ride we ended up by the river for food and a chat. With there dog by our side the whole ride it was an amazing experience. One which I would gladly do again. Many thanks ed and Sarah for allowing us to have this time on your ranch.

We were pleasantly surprised by Blue River Campground & RV Park. Traveling as a family of six on our way to Vancouver, we felt incredibly welcomed. The owners are warm and friendly, the atmosphere is authentic and serene, and everything is well cared for. Before visiting, we had read a few negative reviews and honestly wondered what to expect. But our own experience couldn’t have been more different. Sometimes the most sincere and heartfelt places are overlooked or misunderstood, and Blue River Campground is a perfect example. If you’re looking for a serene, welcoming, and truly genuine place to relax and recharge during your trip, this is it. We left with gratitude and would happily return again. Raf (BE)

Quiet campground close to a lovely lake and beach area to take kiddos to. The campground had a bathroom with free showers for guests to use! Another really nice feature was the public kitchen and sink available to use! It was great for doing our dishes. Our toddler also LOVED the two sandpits filled with toys. Not the most privacy between sites, but we would definitely come again.

We stayed here for two nights and rented a canoe for 6 days to be on Murtle lake. The campground has large capacity for tents and RVs as well as several cabins that are reasonably priced. The free shower and the kitchen were very convenient. The owners are friendly and flexible whenever possible to meet our needs. It has playground for little kids to play in.

We had a travel trailer so the hot showers and laundry were a great bonus on our trip. The people that worked there were very friendly and helpful. She even switched my laundry from washer to dryer. I'd stay again. Great food 2 min walk away.

We absolutely love it here. They have full kitchen in a covered gazebo with pots, pans, plates, a coffee maker, fridge, stove. So I don't need to pack anything but my food! The service is amazing, they are kind and helpful. They really care about the campers and their camp! Real bathrooms and showers. Plus, really close to great hiking trails and a short drive several waterfall hiking trails

It is hard for people who have made this place what it is today to get rid of the negative ratings from years ago. It is clean, well cared for, water and electricity are properly installed, they have a fantastic shared kitchen space. There are mosquitoes, not much they can do about that, it is close to the highway and the occasional train makes itself heard when it passes, that was less of an issue than I I initially thought it would be. It was an unplanned stop for us, but I would have no issues making it a planned one next time we are out this way. The people running the campground are super friendly and helpful.

Some friends and I stayed at Blue River Campground on our way to Jasper from Oregon. We were very happy with our accommodations in 2 of the cabins, and were greeted by very friendly hosts upon arrival. Amenities were great, hard to beat a hot shower when you're camping. Location was ok, wish there was more within walking distance, but otherwise a great place, especially if you're just passing through. Would stay here again.

Amazing location and view. The walls are thin, but my neighbors were pretty quiet. One of the windows didn't work which is fine for the weather I had, but with no AC or fans, it could be an issue. The host did offer to come fix it, which was super nice.

It's a very nice place. Very clean. It's just keen eared to the next door apartment so it's good to have some earplugs in the bag. But I definitely recommend this place !

very minimal.. no freezer for example!

We stayed here in June 2025 for a night while traveling from Alberta. It is a lovely place located just a couple kilometres out of town. The area is quiet with lots of birds in the forest to fill the air with songs. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all the necessities for cooking. There were windows to open on both sides of the cabin to allow a cool evening breeze to flow through the. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. There was no air conditioning so it could get a bit warm in the cabin on a hot summer day but the evenings are generally cool so that helps to get a good sleep. I would highly recommend this place overall.

Fantastic customer service! We did the Scenic Raft Float for $79 plus GST and really enjoyed it. We felt like we could have spent another hour just floating along. If we are over this way in the future we will definitely use this service again.

I recently went whitewater rafting for the first time, and it was an unforgettable experience! We chose Stellar Descents, and I was impressed by how accommodating the team was, especially on short notice. They allowed my dog, Lucky, to join us on the scenic raft float, and he seemed comfortable and happy throughout the trip—a special thanks to Justin, Kris, and the entire team for making this experience so enjoyable. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking to embark on a fun and memorable rafting adventure!

Fully recommended and a MUSt do activity to experience. I had a really enjoyable time with Stellar Descents Whitewater Rafting. Shout out to those three amazing and fun guides with Justin, Liam and Brooke. With all the excellent explanations and communications at the beginning made the whole rafting experience easy and will want you to do it again! Had so much excitements and laughters with this team.

We went rafting today July 8th 2025. It was wonderful, we chose the sights seeing. We had a very great time. We enjoyed the whole scenic. The weather also was fantastic. The guider was awesome, she was very friendly and helpful. Totally staff were so friendly and helpful. Well organised. Prices are reasonable. Overall, we had a very good time.

Chris, Brooks and Justin, the most wonderful rafting professionals in British Columbia, Canada. Rafting with you and my family on the Fraser River has been one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. Thank you for your professionalism, for enjoying the work you do so much, and for making every trip feel like the first. We highly recommend this activity with Stellar Descents Whitewater Rafting and the family that makes it happen. We hope to see you next time when we return from Spain. Kisses.

We had scenic float at the end of the season. Kris was wonderful with explanation and showing us around. I took one star out, it was no “wow” effect. We would try white water rafting next time, our daughter is still young to take this year.

SENIORS ALERT: Fun-Fun-Fun with Professional, Attentive, Safety Oriented crew, on an affordable adventure. This group of young people are so accommodating and helpful. They encouraged and helped us so much, and made it a great time. We will give them as many stars as we can and recommend them anytime- and will definitely go back again The Burnstads and The Schiecks

We usually stop here for 10-minutes on road trips. A good spot to let out the kids or dog to stretch the legs as there is a large field and it's far enough away from the main roads. A few picnic benches of seating nearby as well.

I stopped to get some information, I didn't leave with much. I had to wander around the store to see what the town was about. I asked all the questions, I thought the lady could have shared more helpful information of what the town offered. I left there wondering why I even stopped.

What a joke of a town. Safe to say I’ll never be back — the name Valemount will always be a bitter reminder. Found a “futuristic” self-cleaning public toilet… reality? A malfunctioning mess. Filthy inside, couldn’t even wash my hands. Feels more like a cheap PR stunt — probably a bribe by Telus to keep other phone providers out of town 😂. And that’s another issue. I drove 30 extra minutes just to get here, hoping for a decent place to dine and maybe some cell service. Instead, I found a town that fails in every direction. Dining? Fail. Service? Fail. Experience? Complete fail. Valemount, the “pit stop” you’ll regret.

Great place for a quick stop scenery was amazing

The Valemount Visitor Centre is fantastic! The building is adorable, and the staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Like another reviewer mentioned, they are genuinely excited to share their knowledge with you. The gift shop is a gem, offering lots of unique magnets and great prices on items. Some of the same items Jasper and Banff carry, but cheaper. They have shelves lined with brochures of other nearby places, and the staff helped me discover new spots I’d love to check out in the future. Overall, a must stop if you’re in the area!

Cleanest and most comfortable washrooms on hwy 5. Great place for a pit stop and some neat merch available inside as well.

Very friendly staff and came out knowing valemount like the back of my hand !!!

Great spot for a walk with the dog. 6k walk and not alot of bugs

Great nature trail loop, especially if you are a bird nerd. Mosquitos were a challenge in the forested portions though so stopping to check out a bird was a pain penalty. Bring big spray and dress in pants and sleeves if you plan to take your time.

(Translated by Google) Had a lovely walk. 9km, everything flat so no climbing. (Original) Heerlijk rondje gelopen. 9km, alles vlak dus niet klimmen.

Beautiful boardwalk and trail! The lookouts are super cool.

A quiet oasis to enjoy breathtaking vista and get a glimpse of birds if you are lucky. Pack mosquito repellent if you want to stay for a bit

(Translated by Google) Didn't really impress us that much. Nothing seen except a few ducks. Maybe we were a little late in mid-September. The first viewing platform is a 5-minute walk from the parking lot. If you do the whole circuit, it takes about 1.5 hours (8km). (Original) Hat jetzt uns nicht so beeindruckt. Ausser ein paar Enten nichts gesehen. Vielleicht waren wir Mitte September auch etwas zu spät dran. Erste Aussichtsplattform ist 5 Gehminuten vom Parkplatz weg. Wenn man die ganze Umrundung macht, dauert es etwa 1.5 Stunden (8km).

(Translated by Google) Beautiful trail but watch out for mosquitoes (Original) Beau sentier mais attention aux moustiques

This was by far one of my favorite hikes of the trip. We only made it to the lake but even that was worth it. Highly recommend a visit.

This is one of the most beautiful parks I've ever visited. The views here are unparalleled, and there's tons of wildlife.

I come here every summer when I can. One of the most amazing trails on Earth. If you only have a couple of hours, a trip to Kinney Lake is well worth it. If you have a couple of days, the trip to Berg Lake (and Snowbird Pass) are breathtaking. Must book a loooooooooooong time in advance.

Honestly the berg lake trail is one of the nicest hikes I've done. We went up to emperor falls and back (32km+) in one day, and although it was totally worth it it was quite heave on the knees. I recommend everyone to do the hike, as I can only imagine what Berg lake itself will look like, but make sure you got a few days time so you can appreciate it in all it's glory without having to walk around with a knee brace for a week after 😉

Beautiful Jaw dropping mountains and breathtaking views. It's one of the most beautiful part of the yellow head highway drive towards BC. There are a few shops for travellers and tourist to patronize. Also several areas for photo lovers. Ensure your vehicle is in good shape as help may not come as quickly as you desire if needed. Cellular network signals are very poor around these area due to the mountains. Ensure your vehicle has enough gas to avoid disappointment. Not many gas stations are available around the mountain.

Such a beautiful place! Here you get to see snowy and really tall mountains! And because the Mount Robson Provincial Park is near BC and Alberta, you could play around and you jump from province to province, that sounds cool to me!

100% worth a visit and certainly is one of the highlights of my trip around the Canadian Rockies. Kinney Lake is a must see and is well worth the 1-1.5hr hike. It is not too challenging or overly steep and the path is very well marked. It is super convenient to access the trail from the Berg Lake trail head car park.

Mount Robson is a breathtaking destination in the Canadian Rockies, offering stunning scenery. This majestic mountain stands at an impressive height and is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers. With its picturesque surroundings and abundant wildlife, Mount Robson Provincial Park provides a unique experience for visitors. - *Scenic Views*: The mountain offers breathtaking views, especially from the Visitor Centre's viewing deck. - *Hiking Trails*: Explore the numerous trails, including the popular Kinney Lake trail, which offers scenic views and exciting hiking experiences. - *Wildlife Viewing*: Spot wildlife such as elk, deer, and bears in their natural habitats. Cafe Mount Robson is a convenient and delicious stopover for travelers, offering a variety of menu options. *Food Quality*: The cafe serves delicious food, including sandwiches, salads, and baked goods.

Standing at 3,954 meters (12,972 feet), Mount Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, its snow-capped summit attracting climbers year-round. With scenic lakes, abundant wildlife, hiking trails, and rich flora, it’s a must-see for anyone who loves nature. Welcome Centre, a first stop for most visitors, where souvenirs line the shelves and rangers share tips about the park, the mountain, and its many trails. Its porch is the best vantage point for the clearest, most majestic view of the Mount Robson. The Centre has a museum which contains many interesting facts about the state park’s history, mountain climbing attempts, and the surrounding wildlife.

We visited Mt. Robson on our drive from Clearwater to Jasper. It's the highest mountain in the Rockies. The Welcome centre tells a bit about the history of the first voyage of discovery, as well as the geology. There's a store and some toilets inside as well. Also: WiFi! From the deck at the back there's a great view of the mountain itself. But for the best pictures of yourself and the mountain (as I'm not a big fan of fences in picture), I would move to the spacious lush green field behind the centre.

I only stopped here for a short rest, but the mountain views completely amazed me. Even on a warm day, there was still snow glistening at the top, making the scenery stunning. It turned out to be an unexpected highlight of my trip, worth pausing to enjoy.

Very helpful staff. Berg Lake trail campsite explanation & water for the climb up to Emperor Falls - most appreciated!

On a good (mostly cloudless) day, you can make a stop here, buy snacks or ice cream and have a view of Mount Robson. Great for those that are not planning on going further in or hiking. You still get to see the tallest Mountain in the Canadian Rockies.

Wonderful Lake. Brings memories of my Grandfather. He had a store and post office at the west end of the lake on the rail line at Red Pass.

Moose Lake is a breathtaking stop along the Yellowhead Highway that feels like stepping into a postcard. Surrounded by rugged mountains and framed by the towering peaks of the Rockies, the lake stretches out in a long, peaceful ribbon of deep blue-green water. On a calm day, the reflections of the mountains and clouds are so vivid they look almost painted. This is a place where you can truly slow down and soak in nature. It’s perfect for pulling over during a road trip, stretching your legs, and taking in the scenery. The shoreline is easily accessible in spots, making it a great place for photos, a picnic, or just sitting quietly to listen to the gentle lap of the water. If you’re lucky, you might spot wildlife in the area — moose sightings do happen, and you’ll often see birds skimming the surface. There are no big crowds or noisy facilities here, which adds to the serenity. Facilities are minimal, so it’s best to bring your own snacks, water, and anything you need. The beauty of Moose Lake is its simplicity — untouched, peaceful, and a reminder of how incredible British Columbia’s landscapes are. If you’re driving through Mount Robson Provincial Park, this is a must-see stop. Whether you stay for 10 minutes or an hour, it’s the kind of view that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Was there on my trip back from settle.what a calm place to relax(other than the highway 16 😂)

Such a stunning lake! 💙 Perfect to relax during a long roadtrip. There's also a public toilet.

Stunning lake , the only lake on the side of Fraser river. Nice view and some relaxing time during road trip

We passed the Moose Lake in the province of British Columbia while doing a VIA Rail trip from Vancouver to Jasper National Park in Alberta, in July 2019. The Canadian National's Rail line and the Yellowhead Highway run along the north shore of the lake and we got very scenic views of the lake from the train window. Moose Lake is the only lake along the course of the Fraser River.

Stunning lake. Very blue and shadows make for a wonderful changing vista. Shame we couldnt walk pound it more (possibly can from other vantage points)

This mountain and lakes should definitely be on the list of visitors! Take comfortable shoes as the path will not be very winding and in stones. The glacier hanging over the lake and pieces of ice in the water is fascinating!

This is a medium level hike. Some areas are steep, slippery and be cautious. This is my favorite place in Jasper. Stunning and panoramic view. Couldn’t go until end of the trail due to time limitation but definitely come back. Parking is very tight. You have to come early morning. Winding roads.

One of the most beautiful mountains and hikes in the world. The drive to the top where the parking area is amazing. This place is a must visit while in Jasper. The parking lot gets full though and it can be hard to find parking so come very early or very late.

My favourite place, the most beautiful mountain view with glacier falls and lake in the middle. Good for everyone easy to hike. Make sure to arrive early for the parking lot.

One of the most beautiful places we have visited. A road of about a kilometer and a half leads to a beautiful blue lake where ice floats. The leading road is full of many beautiful stones and the lake is bordered by a huge glacier. The height of the mountain is 3,633 meters above sea level and the Angel Glacier is a glacier that flows down the northern slope of Mount Edith Cowell. The mountain is named after the British nurse Edith Cowell who was executed by the Germans in the First World War. To get to Mount Edith Cavell's parking lot, drive from Jasper on Highway 93 (Glacier Highway) and shortly after passing the entrance to the park, turn right onto Highway 93A.

So cool. One of the best hikes I have done in Alberta! Saw a piece of glacier fall off yesterday which was so cool and a little sad. Trail gets hard near the top of mountain, but good for the heart 🫀. Well kept trail and the end is above the tree line which is interesting . The plants were cool.

Parking lot is really small, I had to wait for about 20 minutes to park. Trail distance is very friendly, only 700m from parking lot to the small pond at the foot of the glacier. It is shrinking, it will disappear some day. The water in the pond is really cold, some small icebergs are floating in the pond. A nice, small place to observe and feel glacier.

Among the most spectacular gems of nature, and it is very accessible to all. Get out there, go for a walk, save hundreds by not doing the Maligne Lake cruise. Seriously - you won't be disappointed!

Great sight! To see more of the Angel, climb the rocks. Please be sure to avoid trampling the delicate rock flora. Look out for Pikas and Marmots too.

Definitely recommend coming here! The drive in itself is exciting as you climb up the mountain you get beautiful views of the surroundings! The hike to see the glacier is relatively short, maybe a mile! Bring umbrella or rain jacket as the weather here can change VERY QUICK!

Angel Glacier is a short drive from Jasper on Mount Edith Cavell. The hike is short but is mostly uphill to the glacier itself. You can stop there or continue on to the meadows which has beautiful wild flowers. The view on this hike is spectacular and what even made it more memorable was that there were numerous mini avalanches that came crashing down on the water below which was pretty exciting to see. It's a must see if you're in the Jasper area that's for sure!

Short hike that gives you nice views of the hanging glacier. Longer hike option (around 6km) going into the woods.

stunning! short and easy hike with great reward!

very worth to visit. the time we visited is the the end of Jun. However, there's a heavy rain in Jasper park, so we change the plan and decide to visit Angel Glacier first. The rain turns into snow on the road heading to Angel Glacier(about one hour drive). we are in the snow-white world when arrived. it's a very special experience although the glacier has been covered by snow and dirt.

An excellent day out and on a good weather day well worth the effort. The scenery was stunning. The staff ( Max & Cally ) were knowledgeable and will answer questions on your journey. The tram cost about $80 each . Very safety conscious lots of information. The shop and restaurant well worth a visit to sok up the scenery and get a souvenir.

Absolutely worth the money. It stops operating around 2nd November 2025 and back again in March. Beautiful views from the top. We were there late October so the snow made it more difficult to hike to the summit but views below submit great as well. We had a bite to eat at the restaurant.

The Whistler Mountain Tram was a highlight of my trip to Jasper. Spectacular views of the entire region including the surrounding mountains, rivers, lakes and the town of Jasper. The tram ride is smooth and at a good pace - not too fast but not poking along either. Staff are knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful. The restaurant at the upper level is superb. Great food with impressive views. Don't miss it. The dirt hiking trail to the top is not difficult for those in good health and physical shape. But seniors and those with limitations should stick to the decks and platform areas. Bring warm clothing for the mornings and evenings but late mornings through the afternoon can be warm.

Absolutely awesome experience my mom loved her experience it was first time for me and mom it was a great trip to jasper and definitely something everyone should do try the view from up there is breath taking go sit up the rocks meditate get ur energy flowing breathe it’s a place of peace and abt the sky team service it was absolutely amazing they took care of us down there real quick got us in comfortable up there the cage staff was awesome aswell very helpful polite and smiling . Love the whole experience . Would definitely visit again .

The tram “drivers” were friendly and informative. It had recently snowed and was very windy at the top. We didn’t hike to the peak as we were not appropriately dressed for the winter-like weather. Amazing views and the food at the top was phenomenal

An essential part of the Jasper Experience!. What a rush from starting slow out of the station to picking up some speed on the line and ascending that mountain in no time - and it's steep. The little boardwalk at the top is perfect for just relaxing but there are also many trails to explore and how easy after being plopped right onto the peak of Whistlers Mountain. LOVE THIS! ENDLESS VIEWS!

Worth the experience. Fun ride up and back with amazing views and knowledgeable guides giving interesting information. Lots to explore and see on top so wear good hiking footwear and bring layers, water and a snack.

This is another waterfall that you really need to stop at. Plenty of parking even for RVs. It was a short walk to the waterfall. There is a trail that you can walk around to see the waterfall. Definitely stop here when driving the Parkway.

We visited Athabasca Falls and loved it! The waterfall is powerful and the scenery around is breathtaking, with the Rocky Mountains all around. Great place to click pictures and enjoy nature — definitely worth a stop if you’re in Jasper.

Very pretty fall, the best fast falling with high intensity fall, beautiful views, you can soak in the nature, breathe in and take nice pictures. The parking lot is decent,there’s washrooms and short walk so definitely must try! The whole area can be viewed on wooden planks so super easy.

Athabasca Falls is absolutely breathtaking! The waterfalls are powerful and mesmerizing, surrounded by incredible mountain scenery. Walking through the footpaths is a stunning experience — every turn offers something new to see and appreciate. Even though the area was affected by the fires, its beauty and strength still shine through. It’s a must-see stop in Jasper — peaceful, scenic, and a true reminder of nature’s resilience. 🌿💧We visited October 2025 and it’s less crowded dress accordingly. Weather conditions change drastically.

What a vibrant place. You can hear the roar touching your soul and temples your body. A majestic place to visit. One has to visit and listen to this artistic music. 🙏 Shiva

A must-visit place on the trip to Jasper. An outstanding fall with a strong flow of water. It shows how small are human. A short hiking to the top and bottom of the cliff gonna bring to you a perfect view of the Athabasca river with burned forest. They are healing but look kind of ugly now.

Must visits if you are at Jasper. Parking is plenty and pretty short walk and one can go down the canyon also a bit.

Small visitor center in the middle of town in a lovely historic building. I wish there was more to it, especially considering the significance of the park, but the town is small. There aren't any displays or information to speak of, but the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Also, come back at night and there are some neat illuminated sections. Jasper the bear is right around the corner. Too bad the gift shop was not open when we went, since it looked interesting and better to support Parks Canada. No free parking.

As a local taxi service provider in Jasper, I’ve had the pleasure of regularly picking up and dropping off guests at Forest Park Hotel. From what I’ve seen, the hotel maintains a high standard of hospitality and cleanliness. The staff are always courteous, organized, and professional, which makes our job easier and creates a smooth experience for visitors. Guests often share positive feedback with us about their stay—mentioning the comfort of the rooms, the helpful service, and the beautiful surroundings. The location is also convenient for transportation, with easy access and a well-managed front entrance. Forest Park Hotel is clearly committed to guest satisfaction, and it shows. We’re proud to serve their guests and look forward to continuing our partnership!

Compared to Banff town, this place feels much quieter. There are fewer busy shopping streets and more residential areas surrounded by mountains, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The restaurants are a bit pricey, but the environment is very pleasant and a good place to enjoy dinner after coming down from the mountains. Just keep in mind that most shops close around 9pm

I love HWY93, we start from Bang but next winter we will go from Jasper, I really think this is one of the most magnificent drive in NA, Jasper Park also has quite a lot to offer, from fine dining tp casual cafes, lots and lots of trails to bike, hike, walk, amazing lakes, even if you are at! 5% to go there, trust you will not regret it.

Overflow is your best place to set up your camp Not burntout with plenty of trees that surround us.

Beautiful area, landscape, and places to visit. You can rent canoe by the lake.

So beautiful would recommend is you are in the area

This was one of the best places I stayed on my vacation to Canada. I saw lots of action with bears and wildlife. I would definitely come here again.👍👍

A really beautiful Lake about a 45 minute walk from Jasper, with its clear water and stunning surroundings, it is easy to see why it is a very popular Lake to visit for tourists on the way to pyramid Lake, mainly due to the easy access by car. If you walk here, bring bear spray. Lake freezes Iver in the winter.

Stunning location. One of the most beautiful spots in Jasper National Park. It’s amazing how peaceful this place is. You really get impressed by the nature. Definitely is a must seen location!

A very nice lake to take a canoe on and paddle around. Parking unfortunately is rather sparse and it can get quite busy. They have different types of watercraft and the only motorized is an electric boat which is nice for keeping it peaceful. We took a canoe out for an hour and that was plenty. They also have kayaks, paddle boats, row boats and a motorized family carrier.

Another beautiful lake within 5 minutes of Downtown Jasper. The crystal clear waters of the lake are worth viewing during clear days.

Best view for autumn color in Patricia Lake, Jasper National Park.

Beautiful lake, good place to spend some time.

Easy loop hike for less than 3o minutes. Saw few people went out to swim in this beautiful beach/lake. They have their own private spots which is great. Dead trees and burnt logs are evident throughout the side of the trail but nevertheless, greenery are starting to grow. There's a public restroom on the start of the trail.

Such a beautiful little lake! Crystal clear water, surrounded by rocks and forest, and not too crowded compared to other spots in Jasper. I went paddle boarding here and it was perfect - calm, clear, and peaceful. People also come here to cliff jump, but even just sitting by the water feels amazing. Definitely one of my favorite spots.

Fun and safe easy cliff jumping- less than 20 feet available, water is clear and refreshing. Definitely a great place to go relax, chill, swim around a little bit and have fun! Would highly recommend

Horseshoe Lake wasn’t on our original plan, but we’re so glad we made the stop. Located just off the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park, this hidden gem is a beautiful, peaceful spot with crystal-clear turquoise water and dramatic rock formations. Way less crowded than the big-name lakes, and perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or even a cliff jump if you're feeling adventurous. Definitely worth the detour!

Not signposted, but you see the lake on your left driving towards Banff. Small car park. 30 mins loop “inside” the horseshoe. Beautiful views

Absolutely gorgeous lake just a short walk from the highway. The trail is clear to the lake then meanders along up and down the hillside, watch for roots and tripping hazards. The water is clear and cold but super refreshing on a hot day. If you're brave enough (or stupid enough) you can jump off the cliffs into the water. We didn't but saw others doing it; you'd definitely need to know exactly where to jump but there are places where the water is extremely deep. There is also an outhouse and garbage bins in the parking lot.

Sad to see it post wildfire, but still a beautiful lake and fun to cliff jump into.

The tour bus stopped at a lookout. You can see the canyon and the entire surrounding area. This was the best spot to see all of the damage caused by the wildfires. It was incredible (and a little sad) to see what has become of this area. So much of the area looked like scorched earth, yet it is still majestic and beautiful. What was very interesting is that this fire was driven by high winds (65+ mph) and many of the burnt trees feel in the same direction, almost like dominos). There were also some small patches that were left unscathed, and how does that even happen?! Such beautiful country. Worth the trip!

Maligne Canyon is one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. Carved over thousands of years by the Maligne River, this stunning limestone gorge plunges to depths of over 50 meters (160 feet), making it the deepest canyon in the park. Visitors can explore the canyon via a well-maintained trail system that crosses six bridges, each offering unique viewpoints of roaring waterfalls, swirling whirlpools, and steep canyon walls. The first and second bridges provide the most dramatic views, where the narrow canyon walls close in around the rushing water below. In summer, the area is vibrant with lush greenery and wildflowers, while in winter, Maligne Canyon transforms into a magical world of frozen waterfalls and icy caverns, perfect for guided ice walks. The canyon’s geology and hydrology are fascinating too—some of the river’s water mysteriously disappears underground and resurfaces miles away at Medicine Lake. Whether you're a casual walker or an avid adventurer, Maligne Canyon is a must-visit destination that showcases the raw beauty and power of nature in the Canadian Rockies.

What a great way to fill your eyes with beauty after a long day 🥰 Way more worth than the touristy Jonhston Canyon. Accesible for families, I did that short walk after a long hike. Would recommend!

Before heading to Maligne Lake, a visit to the canyon is generally organized. It's good that you can visit it pretty much anytime, even with a cloudy weather and it doesn't degrade the experience. Walking around is easy.

Absolutely breathtaking place. I loved every moment at the canyon, nature is truly amazing. Hiking from bridge 1 to 5 is a steep downhill, you have to climb up to get back to where you started. Wear shoes with good grip and treat yourself at the tea house by the parking lot.

I hiked the trail at Maligne Canyon in Jasper, and I couldn’t help but drop my jaw at the sheer beauty of it. Gorgeous, stunning, and downright marvellous! The canyon felt like nature's masterpiece, revealing a cross-section of Earth's ecological evolution in the most dramatic way. Every twist and turn of the trail seemed to unveil something new and breathtaking. It’s not just a sight to see—it’s an experience, one that immerses you in the power and history of nature. Maligne Canyon is a must-visit, a place that leaves you both humbled and awestruck by the forces that have shaped our planet over millions of years.

Spectacular trail that follows a canyon in Jasper National Park. Waterfalls all along and bridges that cross and allow amazing views of the water below. The rock erosion creates patterns and tones that pictures don't quite convey An absolute must for waterfall fans such as us!

We got here in bad weather, but it made the lake even more attractive. The beautiful color of the water is surrounded by trees (unfortunately burnt on one side). There is a trail around the lake and you can take a walk. Also, if you look up, you can meet an eagle that fights with a crow 😅🤣 we were happy to see it.

This is an absolutely beautiful lake that has many different aspects and habitats. The views from all sides were beautiful, especially the incredible wetland. There were massive amounts of dead and diseased trees around the edge, but it did not ruin the view. This lake is well worth it!

The parking area is a well-known spot for eagle watching. I heard that on clear days, photographers often come here to capture the scene. Today was cloudy, but we were lucky to see an eagle chick with its mother.

Amazing Medicine lake lookout point. Lake itself is magnificient with exceptional view of mountains. This look out point wont take long unless you go for a hike. You can even walk to the lake and walkway is doable but not accessible for stroller or wheelchair. Ample parking but on a busy day you may not find spots. No washroom and only one bench. This lake has potential of development I wonder why ita not done yet. Over all I am glad we stopped as views are breath taking. Wild life were very close and the mountains looked amazing. Check out my videos and images. Follow for more detailed reviews.

Very interesting unique lake. We learned about it at other stops because the information signs had melted in the 2024 fires.

Visited last 10/10/25, you will see remnants of the fire but it does not diminish the beauty of this place 🤍

Incredible view with just a little bit of hiking. Wish we could hike more. The magic of the lake is still in evidence. Make sure you look in all directions.

My fave lake during my 2 week, travelling trip to Canada (more so than Lake Louise). It’s quieter (I went at the end of August), it’s picturesque, there are lots of trails you can go on. There’s a beautiful lake view restaurant and a FAB ice cream and waffle shop. I bought a Christmas decoration from the gift shop. You can go on boat trips (I didn’t- pre booking is essential). And you can kayak (booking on the day only, so everyone has an opportunity). We did a route called “moose lake”. The small “pool” lake was very peaceful and moose are often found grazing in there. We actually saw a moose in the main lake that was a joy to see and apparently he’s often there, showing off to visitors! If it’s wildlife you’re after, we saw a grizzly on the way back down the mountain, about 8pm. Having spoke to a lot of people in the area about this encounter, they all had photos of the same bear in the same area, so I think he also is a creature of habit! Finally, we had lots of food in our RV, so we stopped the next day at lunchtime, on the way up to the lake at a river best, rest stop on the left side. It was so joyous! They have fire pits with firewood to use for free! As well as picnic benches and the odd chipmunk to watch. It’s extremely picturesque and well maintained!

One of the most beautiful lakes I've ever seen! Located in Jasper, it is quieter than most lakes but still a beautiful turquoise blue that takes your breath away. We took the Maligne Lake Cruise to Spirit Island and I highly recommend it!

Beautiful lake to spend time at. We did a boat trip out to spirit island which was excellent fun and informative. We also did a short walk after along the edge of the lake.

Amazing views with mountain backdrop. Didn’t do the cruise as it felt little overpriced and had other activities planned for the day. It can be an excellent picnic spot however there aren’t a ton of sitting areas near the water (reason I am docking a star). Either, you’ll have to walk further along the trail to find a good spot or sit away from the water. Plenty of parking with 2 overflow lots up the hill from the main parking lot.

Maligne Lake is absolutely stunning and one of the highlights of Jasper National Park. The turquoise water surrounded by mountains is breathtaking, and the boat trip to Spirit Island is unforgettable. There are also great hiking trails around the lake, making it the perfect spot for both relaxation and adventure.

Maligne Lake is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The beautiful water surrounded by towering mountains feels like something out of a painting. Walking along the trails, every turn offers another stunning view — from peaceful forest paths to lookout points where you can see the lake stretch endlessly into the distance. We took time to just sit by the water and enjoy the calm, and it was incredible watching the reflections of the peaks change with the light. There are boat tours that take you out to Spirit Island, which is truly magical and worth every minute. The air feels so fresh, and there’s plenty of wildlife and scenic spots for photos. Even though the area has been affected by fires, the natural beauty still shines through — and it’s amazing to see how the land is healing. If you love nature, photography, or just peaceful places, Maligne Lake is a must-see in Jasper National Park.

We took the boat ride tour to the Spirit Island, it was wonderful experience worth every penny. Juliana was wonderful host . She shared so much information about the Spirit Island ,Indegenous history,culture and everything you want to know about the lake,mountains, glaciers

What a beautiful trail. Here's the info and experience I couldn't find out before arriving. It is a gradual constant ascent, which actually makes it quite easy. Took us (my wife and I, plus our 4 year old boy and 7 year old girl) a little under 2 hours up, and 1 hour back down. Was well worth it. Not scary, no cliffs or drop offs, just a well traveled constant ascent.

The climb to the top is quite difficult, especially the last 400 meters. The trail runs through the forest, which protects you from the sun, which is comfortable when the weather is hot, and has the appearance of a serpentine. Also, along the way, there are wonderful views of the mountains, you can breathe in the fresh forest air, there are several natural benches for rest. The road took 2 hours to climb and 1 hour 20 minutes to descend, but I was in no hurry, so it all depends on your pace. The view at the top is incredible! I was there on a sunny and windless day and the visibility was very good! The Surphur Skyline Trail is an incredible route with spectacular mountain and valley views. The hike, while challenging, is rewarding with fantastic views and hot springs at the finish. Perfect for those looking for adventure and nature at its best!

This trail is a fantastic adventure for hikers of all ages. It lifts you out of the valley and delivers jaw-dropping views that make every step worth it. As you near the top, brace yourself—the last 400 meters are a bit of a scramble, but the payoff is incredible. Heads-up: it can get pretty windy at the summit, so don’t forget a windbreaker or a cozy layer. You’ll want to hang out and soak in the scenery for a while. Time? Depends who you ask. The posted hiking time is 4–5 hours, but let’s be real: I made it to the top (with photo stops, two water breaks, and a lightning-fast lunch) in under 2 hours—though I’ll admit, I was dragged up. So yes, the timing could use a bit of an update depending on your pace.

It took us 1h30mins up and 1h 15mins down. The walk is under the trees for most of the time and opens up towards the end, where the incline gets more serious. The 360° view is amazing. We saw squirrels at the top (often confused with chipmunks). Absolutely worth the hike.

Wonderful track! The vue on the top is unbelievable and the whole way is so charming, plenty of snow everywhere. It is a bit challenging at the end but totally worth it.

Great trail. It was a pretty easy hike up to the summit. We started early so our wasn't busy up top. Epic views. I would say the best views for the effort. Extremely busy on the way down. Passed SOOOOO many groups. Ended with a cold plunge at the hot springs.

Took us 1h45 return instead of the 4/5h written at the start. We saw chipmunks on top, rabbits on the way down, wild goats in the parking before we started and a black bear on our way back home. What an amazing day! The view at the top is stunning!
