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.

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.

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.

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.

The Monte Creek winery has a wonderful tasting room. The big glass windows really give it a nice atmosphere. The grounds are well manicured. The outdoor patio is a good size. Friendly and pleasant staff.

Awesome wines, beautiful views, and the food totally hit the spot. Everyone on the staff was friendly and made the whole experience even better. A good place to hang out with friends during summer time.

Mmmm, the wine, oh the wine! 4 healthy samples of your choice and a charcuterie board. We ended up taking 4 bottles home. Great selections and all flavourful and tasty. No bombs in our selection and some great stories behind them! Ask about “hands up” and you’ll see a movie in the making.

Great place that you might miss if you're not paying attention. Superb collection of local wines, and the food at the restaurant is excellent. Staff was very friendly and eager to make your visit a wonderful experience.

Plan your wedding here! Not only was it the absolute best spot for an knockout view, the shaded trees and stunning lawn made for a incredible setting for our wedding ceremony! Coordinating with the Event team was a breeze and every detail was taken care of. Our guests enjoyed a perfect afternoon and I couldn't ask for anything more!

I recently had my wedding ceremony at Monte Creek Winery and it was wonderful! They've had some turnover in event coordinators so I worked with a few different people throughout the planning process but they were all very helpful, responsive, and flexible with figuring out all the little details. The wedding was beautiful and everyone loved the wine selections for the cocktail hour. The Living Land Sparkling Rosé in particular was a big hit!

Went to the wine club pick up party last night. Have to say the staff and catering company did an amazing job. Amazing food by Sage & Plate and very friendly and courteous staff. And of course amazing wine. Great job Monte Creek Winery. Another happy member.

Visited in September. BC Wildlife Park was a sweet and memorable stop. Loved seeing the rescued animals—they looked safe and well cared for, which was really heartwarming. Owl Talk was a definite highlight! Getting up close to such a beautiful bird was amazing. The observation hive was super cool too. The spirit bear is the standout, but no luck spotting it this time. Still, a lovely visit overall.

We had such an amazing time at BC Wildlife Park. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Unfortunately, we missed the train ride, but there was still so much to see and enjoy. The park is very family-friendly, with great facilities for all ages. One highlight for me was seeing the cougar laying right at the gate, such a beautiful moment! Also, I absolutely loved the honey in the gift shop definitely worth picking up a jar.

We absolutely love the place. They only have rescued animals and the have signs telling you the story of each animal plus really interesting facts about that animal species. We went in a hot sunny summer day so recommend to bring a hat and a ton of sun screen. The splash zone they have was a blast that gave us some relief from the hot weather. We were able to see so many animals (recommend checking the feeding schedule), we love the bears they have in particular the white one which is only found in BC. They have some timings for you to go a pet some goats and sheep they have, they even provide brushes which are like a spa for the animals, they love to be pet and are super friendly and cute

A bit disappointed by the facilities. Needs renovations. The train 🚂 was not running unfortunately. Off season prices too expensive. When we arrived at 10:30am there was almost no animals out it felt very strange, like an abandoned old zoo. Later on we saw more but some of the cages were not looking very clean. The birds section was great. It is nice to have the story of the rescue of each animal. They definitely should replace most of the fences by glasses. Not that much of “wild” animal.

Visited BC Wildlife Park on Canada Day, and despite the hot weather, we had a wonderful time. We got to see a variety of animals, including the bear, which was a highlight. Though not as many animals as you'd expect from a zoo since this is wildlife refuge. The little train ride was a fun and relaxing way to explore the park, especially for kids. One of the best features on a hot day was the water sprinklers, the kids had a blast cooling off and running through them. The park is well laid out with shaded areas and great for families. A fun, educational, and refreshing day out, highly recommended!

This is such an extraordinary place to go. There's a vast amount of things to learn, and Animals to see. It took about an hour to walk around the park, but was very easy for me even with a bad hip. The grizzlys were super interactive as well. Definitely worth the drive. I'll be coming back with my kids.

We visited late on a hot July afternoon and only had 1.5 hrs to tour. As expected, it was hit and miss with seeing the animals in their enclosures, and at that time of day we had the park pretty much to ourselves. That said, everything appeared to be well laid out, well signed, and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the birds of prey exhibit, and noted there is a family farm where visitors can interact with farm animals. Judging from the sandwich board sign of the day’s activities it is better to arrive in the morning to take advantage of feedings and demonstrations.

The road into the west campground is horrendous and needs to be fixed. Plus the boat launch is ridiculously shallow and needs some TLC. Love the lake if that's any consolation.

Very nice spot. Peaceful. Serene. Only complaint is sites are not very level. But overall amazing spot.

Friendly staff, and the restaurant has good food. Lovely lake, great fishing. Their tap/drinking water comes from the lake, and tastes of fish and swamp. The coffee and tea are affected as well. Next visit I will bring more of my own water!

Best fishing lake in BC. You need a boat because there are few places to wade and trees stop you from shore casting. In May/June you can't miss with trolls, flys, or bait. Provincial sites are fine and they have a nice boat launch but it is way better if you can get into one of the sites at the resort. $30/night/site gives you a pool, store, hot showers. Great quad trails nearby and lots of smaller lakes to explore. I do a week every year plus a couple of weekends if I can make it work.

Wonderful facilities and fishing. UPDATE: Park Operators, Barry and Paul, are excellent for the 2023 season. I have never seen the park look so well kept, have been attending Roche Provincial for 15+ years.

My favorite medium sized lake in BC. So many amazing fishing trips here. For me it really is a World Class Fly Fishing Lake!! The sites do not get raked and the fire pits do not get emptied. When I PAY for a site I like it to start like I leave it...... CLEAN. With that said there is toilet paper in the outhouses and they pick up the bear proof garbage and your money without fail.

Some of the best lakes in the region for fly fishing. Roche, Black, Horseshoe, all fished very well, but Frisken was slow and high algae bloom with few fish this season. Large open campsites, but very busy. Resort is nice with reasonably good food in their restaurant, and lots of boats to rent.

Green heart of Kamloops! A beautiful Riverside Park that’s perfect for all ages! The water park is a great spot for kids to cool off in the summer, and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables in the shady areas for a relaxing break. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s a lovely place for a walk. Don’t miss the Rose Garden and the peaceful Japanese Garden — they add a special touch to the park. A must-visit in warm weather!

🌿 River Side Park 🌿 River Side Park is a beautiful and peaceful place to spend time outdoors. The walking trails along the river are clean and well-maintained, perfect for a relaxing stroll or a morning jog. The greenery and open spaces make it ideal for family picnics, kids’ playtime, or just sitting by the water to enjoy the view. There are plenty of benches and shaded areas to relax, and the calm sound of the flowing river adds to the park’s charm. It’s also a great spot for photography, casual gatherings, and enjoying fresh air away from the busy city. Overall, River Side Park is a refreshing escape into nature — quiet, scenic, and enjoyable for all ages. 🌳✨

Riverside Park in Kamloops is an absolute gem! We visited in the summer and had an amazing time. The park was full of life, families, kids, and people enjoying the beautiful weather. It offers stunning views of the river and has a clean, well-maintained beach that’s perfect for relaxing. The atmosphere is vibrant and peaceful at the same time. A huge thanks to the city government and park management for keeping this place so clean, safe, and welcoming. If you’re around Kamloops, this is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Riverside Park in Kamloops is a beautiful riverside spot with walking trails, playgrounds, and a splash pad—perfect for families. The views of the Thompson Rivers are stunning, and summer concerts add a lively vibe. Parking can get busy, and shade is limited in some areas. Overall, a clean, relaxing park worth visiting — I’d rate it 4/5 stars.

A beauty of a park for everyone. We visited the park early September. There are many large old trees to sit under for shade from the hot sun, its close by the river and has a long walking path alongside it. I was told there is live entertainment each evening during July and August.

Awesome place to play, watch and have fun in the splash park. They have an updated playground that is wheelchair accessible. The water park is so much fun. We stayed and watched the sunset. It was beautiful. Would definitely come back

Excellent amenities, busy with lots going on, this is a great gathering place. Great people watching, lots of entertainment, and a lot of shade on hot summer days. There was even a concert when I was there on a Thursday! There is a water park, limited parking, a swimming beach area that is sectioned off so it is a safe place to swim in the river, paved trails and much more.

Beautiful park for baseball and other activities. As we were there for a baseball tournament (considered an "event") so we were allowed to camp there at a cost of $16.50/night. Lovely facilities with a beautiful 3.2km path along the perimeter of the island. Washrooms and garbage kept up nicely.

It's an island not a park. The design of the park is good. There are a few big sport fields around the road. If you are a visitor, you may drive a little half round of this island. There are many parking and washroom along the road. We go there in the late evening so we didn't see any wild life. If you have time, I think there are a good trail goes around the whole island. I see people using bikes to stroll around. It may take some time for a round stroll.

Safe, well maintained park I love coming to Mac Park for a morning blade. Beautiful venue for soccer and ball. Great paved running path. Hockey arena.

Great location for sports. We've attended the BC youth rugby 7s tournament here the last 4 years. Super jealous that Kelowna doesn't have anything comparable. No wonder they call themselves the tournament capital! Good job, Kamloops:)

This park’s a full-on activity hub. You’ve got soccer fields, baseball diamonds, a skatepark, disc golf, and even a big indoor sports centre. I liked the 3.1 km paved loop — great for walking or rollerblading, and it passes through some peaceful riparian areas with birdwatching spots. It’s family-friendly and well-maintained, with lots of free parking. Downsides? No dogs allowed, which might be a dealbreaker for some, and it can feel a bit too busy during tournaments or summer weekends. Some areas could use more shade or seating. Still, it’s one of the most versatile parks in town.

Lovely walking trails, lots of wildlife and great sporting facilities

I've taken to walking here daily and it is a great place to start getting active. Always clean, and very well looked after. I like that there are several public washrooms available and several different options for how far you want to walk.

So disappointing. Was in town for a wedding, decided to end the night at the casino. A couple groups of us went, the second group arrived at 120am. Approached the bar & was told last call was done at 130am. Started ordering for the group, got bounced to a different bartender bc one wanted to cash out, pass on the order and then was told sorry, cant serve you anymore its 130am. It was implied that they wanted to avoid more work for themselves. Tried a couple slot machines after and both smelled like spoiled food. Bizarre experience. Kamloops is cool though.

The person taking id was unfriendly. We always greet people positively. So we didn't stay long

Had lots of fun, lots of bonus games and a great lunch! Highly recommend!

Very nice customer service and the setting was clean, the choices of restaurants within the casino.

While playing poker, the dealer made a mistake and gave the turn to one of the guys he knew from before. That player took advantage of being the last to act and raised, even though he should have been the first to check or raise. We noticed the mistake, and the dealer admitted it was his fault, but no one did anything about it. The dealer was also shuffling the cards by hand, which is unusual since other casinos use machines for that. This is the worst casino I’ve ever been to.

Nice Staff + wish IT was Easier 2 Win though

Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is very uplifting.

There are quite a few trails here. Most are steep so be ready to go up. The view from the top was great and I felt a good sense of accomplishment when I made it up. We took the main viewpoint trail. It took about 1 hour to go up, hang out a bit at the top, then go down. I would not take my kids. They would have complained a lot. It is all up! There was parking, it was easy to find, there was a bathroom and garbage can at the base of the trail and this was a good trail to try if you are looking for a good little hike and aren’t from town - it was easy to find and it is well marked, you won’t get lost.

A great walk with stunning views. You can choose your difficulty level. Watch out for trail bikes coming down. Easiest way was to park off hillside. Beautiful views.

Lovely short and quiet hike. Trail was well kept. You get beautiful views of the town & the surrounding mountains. If you have time to spare, definitely come explore this place. Tower trail goes straight up btw.

Some very challenging hiking trails. Make sure you bring loads of water and a wide brimmed hat, because shade can be scarce. Some parts of the trail were quiet, mostly you could hear the highways.

Kenna Cartwright Nature Park is a gem for anyone into hiking, biking, or just soaking up views. The trail network is huge, with options for all skill levels, and the scenery — especially at sunset — is unreal. You get panoramic views of Kamloops, the rivers, and even Kamloops Lake from some spots. It’s dog-friendly too, which is a bonus. Downsides? Some trails are poorly marked, so it’s easy to get turned around if you’re new. Also, parts of the park are pretty exposed, so bring water and sun protection. Still, it’s one of the best places in Kamloops to get outside and feel like you’re miles away from the city.

This is the place to hike if you want an all-encompassing view of Kamloops from above. The trail doubles as a service road to the cellular towers on top of the mountain. Thus it is wide, smooth, and impossible to veer off course. The trail is very short but the gradient is steep all the way up the mountain. It's a hike that promises great rewards for little time and effort. Highly recommended.

Lots of trails to choose from, beautiful views. Glad I decided to try it out!

Beautiful lake close to Kamloops, easy lake access and boat dock for boats an kayaks. Big lake , downfall always someone driving to fast making huge waves close to SUP s and kayakers :( . One my fav places to spend the day .

Stayed at the provincial park campground. Very clean and relatively quiet. Roads in campground paved and each site is gravel. Has a wonderful playground for kids. Nice big campsites and lots of little trails. Lake is very nice and calm. Really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent place to camp out.

Absolutely gorgeous lake and fantastic campground. One of our favs! Beautiful day use area and beach. Pit toilets. Clean drinking water. Great playground.

Beautiful. Nice level RV space. Toilets not very clean , but ...very very pretty and a kind young men at the gate.

Public place to have a good time with friends or family. The facilities are good except the washroom which wasn’t up to standard. It’s also free to use. The map may tell you it’s closed but you should find out yourself

Lac Le Jeune is a peaceful and pretty lake, located within a Provincial Park of the same name in British Columbia. Beautiful at Sunrise and Sunset, otherwise it is quite average. I am uploading two photos taken at Dawn.

What a truly magical place! From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family thanks to the incredible hosts. The ranch is breathtaking – beautiful horses, a sparkling lake, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s pure magic. Our son rode a horse for the very first time (a moment we’ll never forget!) and even went tubing on the lake because the lovely owner encouraged not just him, but us as parents, to give it a go. The meals were another highlight – fresh, healthy, and incredibly tasty, prepared with so much care. Every moment here was filled with beauty, joy, and genuine warmth. We left with full hearts and unforgettable memories. Thank you!

Our 5-day stay at Flying U just ended and now we're leaving what feels like new-found family behind. Both staff and guests welcomed and accepted us so readily that it honestly made it difficult to leave, which is something I don't say lightly. The culinary experience also blew us away. The care which Justin and his team paid to ensuring our bellies and hearts were full was extraordinary. The attention to detail and timeliness of all the experiences being offered were also impressive, be they the barn staff saddling the horses in time for outings, the meal service, or tubing on the lake. The atmosphere John's team at Flying U created was truly admirable and deeply appreciated. What a timeless experience we had.

I booked last fall to bring my family up this summer for the unique experience I knew the U could provide. Unfortunately the ranch no longer offers unsupervised riding, and it seems that management didn't think it important to notify any of their reservations of this change nor make the update very obvious on their website. I can guess why, but the lack of communication felt sleazy either way. That said, the wranglers and staff really do seem to be doing everything they can to make the experience just as great as ever. The food was really, really, tasty this year, and everyone working was incredibly helpful and friendly. Though you do have to sign up for specific rides beforehand, the wranglers are flexible to the group's wants and needs, and we were able to go out as our own family group for many rides. Horses were wonderful, people were great, communication could be improved.

So I went for 7 days as a single and thoroughly enjoyed myself, so many interesting people to chat with and get to know, beautiful scenery and lots of trails to ride!, they have horses for all abilities and do a great job of matching you up with a great ride, the wranglers are wonderful and professional and of course you must ride with Cowboy Steve! The weather was hot when I went and so I opted for morning rides and afternoons at the dock across the street for dips in Green lake and wonderful boat rides with Captain John! Am definitely going to go again and would recommend it to anyone who loves being outside.

There are less accidents and even healthier horses. These horses are well cared for and have 4 vets come out and take care of all their needs.

How to define a place that is pure magic for nature lovers, if not simply MAGICAL ?!?!?! Guys it itook me a while to write you a review: we have been your guest at the end of june 2025, almost 5 weeks have passed and I can still see my daughter's eyes the moment she realized that she would sleep in a cabin LITERALLY next door to the horses' stable !! :-) even better, that she would find almost every morning her favourite horse out of the cabin's door , snacking and asking for cuddles !!! :-) a Special mention also to your Staff, they made our staying at the ranch really special !! Best vacation ever !! we'll come back, we wanna earn that PIN you give to your loyal guests !! :-) Hugs to you all from Geneva !

Second visit this year - comfy bed both times, clean cabin, quiet in the evening. Food is always very good. Staff is all friendly and accommodating. We arrived just after lunch so the kitchen served us a plate of sushi and honeydew melon so we could eat and then get to the barn for the afternoon ride. Horses have all been excellent and wranglers give helpful instruction without being overbearing. Great system in place to track riders and bring quick assistance to any independent riders. Looking forward to the next visit in the spring!

The campground is very open and has nice sites.The lake views are beautiful but is not a swimming lake Fishing was not a go at all We got one nibble on a week worth of fishing. Someone else caught 2 other wise people have said that they normally catch up to 25 a day but that was 2 weeks ago.It is colder up there and some times very windy. Great for kids to ride bikes, but no playground. I think they should add that.They have the best out houses ever, very clean and no odour.Very clean campground.$18.00 dollars a night nice size camping sites and fire pits.The staff there is very nice.We would go back a go earlier in the season like July.

Great park, clean facilities, friendly and helpful park operators. Lots of open campsites in the middle of the summer, all first come first serve. Not the best lakes for swimming but the fishing is good.

Huge campground. Over 200 spots. All spots are quite large. Potable water on site. No hookups but down the road is a sani dump. Great fishing!

Big shout out for Doug and Susan for looking after my boat when I experienced mechanical issues with my camper van back in July. I have been coming up to Tunkwa for years, each time knowing that the facilities will always be clean and well supplied. The service they provide is akin to having my own concierge service while camping off the grid. Because of Doug and Susan I will keep coming back and have recommended it to family and friends!

A beautiful provincial park with lots of spaces (266) many of them right on the lake. When we first drove in we thought, wow lots of people, but we kept driving and found lots of empty campsites away from the crowds. Lots of wildlife around especially yellow-bellied mamots and chipmonks.

This is the nicest campground I've ever been to. It's so well maintained and Doug is the perfect caretaker for such an amazing place. The wildlife is pristine and the fishing is absolutely amazing. Take note, this is not a party campground and it's enforced.

Excellent camp sites, great fishing and stunning views. Hard to beat this Provincial Park

We loved it there, an Oasis in the beautiful desert. Well maintained lots, great knowledgeable staff. Would have received additional stars if it weren’t for the high pitched squelching from passing trains. River is beautiful to watch, incredibly peaceful!

We had a short 2 night stay recently at site #4 on the riverbank. Pros: -The Hosts keep the park immaculate. Even flower baskets hanging from the pit toilets! -The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed a nice breeze from the river on a +33 degree day. -Our site had power which was also much appreciated. Cons: -No wifi at the site. (I know, first world problem .... Quit whining right?) It was accessible a short walk away in the upper parking lot, so we could check in with family. -TRAINS. Ok we knew that they were going to be there prior to booking. There are trains on a regular basis both across the river AND behind us. No whistle blowing which was appreciated. After the first night we got used to them though. -Guys on the site next to us parked their trailer really weird, which kinda infringed on our 'personal space'. They also smoked weed in the evening so we couldn't sit outside as the stench was awful. That sucked. That all being said, we have booked another stay in a couple of weeks, so, really it wasn't that bad. Overall we enjoyed our stay. :)

We had a great first come first serve campsite right on the river with power and water. Fly fishermen were having great days on riverbank and we enjoyed watching. One fisherman kindly offered us a salmon. Fish were plentiful - mostly pink and sockeye salmon. Outhouse are clean. No showers. Dumping station available. As others have said the trains are frequent and noisy. I live by trains so am used to it but these are different - think screeching metal. We often covered our and our dog's ears -- and we are not babies about these things. Overall the great spot outweighed the downside of trains.

Juniper Beach is nestled between the C.P. and C.N. rail lines and beside the Thompson River. Most sites have power and water. There is also a sani dump on site. It can get hot here, but there's a nice low flow area of the river for swimming.

Beautiful spot for a day outing/picnic. The park is well maintained and the staff are friendly but if its a quiet night you're wanting you better be use to the sound of trains running past on both side of the campground all night long roughly one train every 60 minutes from 10pm until 4am the night we were there. Didn't sleep much as a result. There is no sound barrier/buffer between the tracks and the tenting area. Possibly not as bad where the RVs camp but we were told we had to camp in the tenting section since we had a tent and not an RV. Basically we paid $25 so as to not get any sleep. Will be returning for a picnic/day outing but will not be staying over night again.

Stayed here for 2 nights and absolutely loved it! Beautiful spot right on the river. Had a great time sitting down at the river watching all the salmon make their way up the river to spawn. The trains are frequent and loud but didn't bother us at all. There is no cell phone reception , we had to walk up to the parking lot which wasn't far and not a big deal at all. Huge shout out to Betsy the park operator! She was so kind, and very funny! We will definitely be back!

Great campsite power and water Trains night and day...but the site was good

We stopped here on our way home from a 6 day road trip through BC and some of Alberta yesterday. It was hot 40 degrees but the site is incredible. It's clean. The blacksmith was wonderful--explaining what he was working on and explaining the process. The restaurant was amazing which was an air conditioned space with a spacious patio overlooking the property. The waiter who served us was polite and attentive. I wish i had gotten his name, but i think he was fairly new--but just had a great vibe. The girl who sold us our tickets, was super polite and explained the map and where to go and what to see. The restaurant is open 7-7 and you don't need to buy tickets to the site to stop and eat. I want to highlight something i thought was important--their animals are well taken care of and their well being is put beyond all else. Normally this place offers carriage rides, and i thought i had arrived early enough i might be able to get one, but as we approached the stage coach office, the handler apologized and explained there would be no more today--it was too hot for the horses. I wasn't even disappointed but happy to see their wellbeing is put ahead of making a buck. All animals had ample water and shaded areas--just not roasting in field in the 40+ degree heat. Well done Hat Creek Ranch we will definitely stop for some eats next time we are driving through.

I absolutely loved my stay at this place. I have raved about it to my friends and family! The cabins were beautiful as well as the shacks! If you camp in a tent the miner shack should be basically the same if not a step up! I genuinely would recommend this to families, couples, even singles if you are looking for a weekend getaway! The restaurant is fair priced, and the neighbours were extremely friendly! It didn’t get loud at night time, and there was tons of wild life and live stock to see around the area! 1000/10 would recommend the miners shack if you aren’t looking for a glam get away, but just a basic camping experience with a bit of a twist this is definitely the place for you and your family! It was also EXTREMELY fair priced! There isn’t much to do around the area but the actual stay on the ranch itself was wonderful and exceeded my expectations! *we brought all the stuff you see in on the inside photos of the shack! (Battery operated lights, air mattress etc..)

A very interesting place to visit! The historic buildings with Indigenous history make it a perfect spot to learn more about Canadian heritage. The restaurant has delicious food and great service, and the whole site is well maintained. Definitely worth stop by!

We had a fabulous experience! The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The forecast turned and a rainy night was predicted. As we were tenting they offered us an upgrade to the Miners Shack. We are so very grateful, especially as we listened to the pouring rain throughout the night.

Historic Hat Creek Ranch is a quirky, worthwhile stop if you're road-tripping through the Cariboo. The site blends Indigenous history with Gold Rush-era settler stories, and the guided tours do a decent job of showing both sides. The original roadhouse is well-preserved, and the wagon rides add a fun touch for families. The Indigenous Interpretation Site is thoughtful, though it deserves more space and attention. Downsides? It can feel a bit commercial—some areas lean more toward touristy than educational. Food options are limited, and the gift shop is hit-or-miss. Still, it’s a unique place to stretch your legs, learn something, and connect with BC’s layered past.

Our group decided to stop in on our way northbound, we saw the signs and stopped for breakfast, we had a fairly large group, three families travelling together. Once we were greeted and sat our server politely notified us that due to the large group and having one server and cook on shift the wait might be an extra few minutes, which is no big deal we’re quite used to that now with our group. But I will say, the food was excellent, it didn’t take extra time at all, (so it seems) and the presentation was beautiful for every dish, even better so, it was delicious and the portion sizes were amazing for the price. We highly recommend stopping in to the restaurant to eat and experience the friendly staff, our server Anett was more than accommodating, very friendly and on the ball!! Excellent in talking and handling the childeren we had with us Good service Anett! We didn't get a chance to catch the name of the chef that cooked for us, only that he was part of the local indigenous band, and happy to cook for us. To you sir, thank you for a lovely meal! We’ll be talking about this place on the rest of our trip home, thanks to the hat creek ranch staff

We were here for a tour around the indigenous site and it was amazing! Lucile took her time showing us around and explained everything carefully! After the tour she sowed my family a game that was super fun. Thank you for the stories you shared and the great tour Lucile!

This museum boasts an exceptional assortment of historical events chronicling the town's past, making it an absolute must-visit in this town. The diligent volunteers at the museum dedicate themselves to enticing visitors, encouraging them to immerse in the expeditions of yesteryears, with the memories of days gone by.

What a lovely surprise to find this museum on our way from Clearwater to Whistler. The museum throws you back in time into the 19th century. Nice staff is very helpful.

Very accommodating. We showed up just as they were locking the door. The two guys running the shop still let us in and have a quick look around and took the time to answer some of our questions We'll be back

It was very nice. I enjoyed the playable piano and the outfits that were worn in the 1800s. It's a very interesting, small museum; fun to stop by.

An absolute must see. Super knowledgeable volunteers, with exquisitely layer out displays capturing the history of this area through the end of the wild west and gold rush to post wwI. 100% worth a visit!

The Clinton museum is well worth a visit. A lot of historical information and artifacts are on display, and the collection of farm equipment is especially interesting. The staff are helpful and enthusiastic, and provided a lot of interesting information.

We came into Clinton on August 4th 2022 and not only was the staff very knowledgeable and friendly but we were both surprised on how well the history of Clinton was portrayed! I would recommend to all travellers to take a break and tour the Museum of Clinton. Thank you to the three lovely Young people who were there to answer all of our questions!

Fort Berens winery has to be visited to enjoy the experience of having a detailed wine experience from friendly and informative staff in either the main tasting room, lounge area, informative tour or scenic outside seating area. Easy to access for wheelchairs, children's play area and gorgeous views. A must Lillooet destination stop.

Beautiful place to stop and taste wine, would definitely recommend sitting on the patio and enjoying a glass. The view really helps to feel the vibes, energy and flavors of the wine come to the palate. Excited to see how the wine I bought will taste.

Out of the six to ten wineries that we’ve been to, this has got to be our favorite 💛 The wine tasting itself is amazing, we get to enjoy wine while looking over the gorgeous mountain in an air conditioned room. Can you think of a better combination? I’ll wait 😉💛 The stunning view, the clean and modern design, the gorgeous patio that has a cover so my pale boyfriend doesn’t burn (😛), the kind, knowledgeable people who work here (Shoutout to Jeremy and the other person whose name we forgot to grab- dynamic duo!!). If you don’t stop by here when you’re in Lillooet, then I’d say you haven’t visited Lillooet at all 🤭 Edit: We couldn’t resist and came back to Lillooett two months later…🫣 Our second visit to Fort Berens absolutely lived up to the hype we built up in our heads the first time. Glad to report that the rose coloured glasses came off and it’s just as amazing and magical ;) Happy to see Jeremy again, thanks for taking such good care of us as always!

After a long and scenic drive, we treated ourselves to a visit at this beautiful winery, and it was absolutely worth it. The setting is stunning, with a peaceful patio overlooking the landscape, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the sounds of nature. We sampled all the wines on offer and ended up settling in with a bottle of their crisp, refreshing rosé paired with a charcuterie board - a perfect combination. The wines were lovely across the board. We also picked up a bottle of their super dry and delicious cider to enjoy later at our final destination for the evening. Make sure to ask about them too! A great bonus: your tasting fee is waived with the purchase of two bottles. Friendly staff, great wine, and a gorgeous view make this spot definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area. Cheers!

Beautiful stopping off point to do a wine tasting and enjoy the views. Jeremy was so friendly & knowledgeable about the wines - and we really enjoyed our tasting. If you buy two bottles of wine- the tasting is free. The price on the bottles start at an affordable 19$!

An absolute must see if traveling through Lillooet. Even more so, get in touch with them ahead of time to try to set up a tour/tasting. Tammy gave the tour, and my goodness, she is passionate and knowledgeable and made the tour and tasting even better.

We had such a wonderful experience at Fort Berens Winery! The wines were absolutely delicious, each with its own character and depth. The staff were warm, welcoming, and made the tasting so enjoyable. A real highlight was getting the chance to chat with their incredibly knowledgeable winemaker, who generously took time out of his busy schedule to share insights with us. It made the visit feel extra special. Highly recommend visiting if you love great wine and genuine hospitality!

The Lillooet Museum is filled with charm and history—but I do wish it was laid out with more of a storyline or timeline to follow. Right now, it feels a bit like walking into someone’s garage filled with amazing relics, but without a clear path or narrative to guide you through the experience. That said, the collection is incredible. There’s so much to see: old tools, clothing, local artifacts, and pieces of early settler and Indigenous history. I love vintage telephone booth with the switchboard, hence the term switchboard lol If you’re into local history and enjoy discovering things at your own pace, this place is worth a visit.

Found pictures and donated items connected to my family 😁. Very friendly staff so willing to help and have connections to my family👍🏼. Thank you for all your help today

Small but very cute museum with many, many exhibition items from gold rush times! It gives a great impression of the past and the staff is very kind. It’s worth it to take half an hour and stop here.

The people at the museum are very friendly and give very good recommendations, it is a very particular place with a good history.

Nice simple local museum centrally located in town. Staff were friendly and lots of exhibits.

Wonderful local museum packed full of historic items ...

The museum/info center is situated in an old church. There are some artifacts outside the museum/info center and the inside is full of interesting and important historical pieces. I had a photo taken inside an old jail cell, complete with bunk bed cots. I enjoyed the downstairs area which had a historical printing press, old newspapers and things like that. The main floor had a lot of things from the gold mining days, tools, and stuff. The stop isn't a long one, you could probably see everything in 15-30 minutes give or take a bit. The visitors info center people were the best. Betty and Tarryn were so patient with answering all our questions and had some tips for interesting places for us to check out, where to eat, and so on. Yes, Lillooet is a small town and it may not have been hard to find some of the info on our own, but learning about where the osprey nest is, or the best place to look for other forms of wildlife, or where the hidden hiking trail is for the best view of the lake... That's the cool stuff that only locals would know.

Went 2 weeks ago with a friend. Was one of the first days with the snow so definitely slipping coming down. Although it is a very good hike for all different levels. Really beautiful and quiet for such a popular place. Would recommend to bring some spikes for those who are not avid hikers!

Joffre Lakes is a breathtaking destination, with its stunning glacier views and crystal-clear, bluish waters. The beauty of the first lake is easily accessible, just a 5-minute walk from the trailhead. The second lake, though more challenging due to the steep elevation gain, rewards hikers with even more spectacular scenery. Unfortunately, we couldn’t make it to the second hike because we arrived late, but the first lake alone made the trip worthwhile. The park features three beautiful lakes, each offering unique views. In the summer, a reservation and park pass are required, but in the winter season, no reservation is needed. Arriving early is key to enjoying the best views without the crowds. Overall, Joffre Lakes is a must-see for nature enthusiasts!

Joffre Lake is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful lakes in British Columbia. The stunning turquoise color of the water gives the lake a unique and magical appearance. The surrounding glaciers add to the breathtaking scenery, making it a must-visit destination. However, be prepared for mosquitoes, especially in warm weather, so don’t forget to bring insect repellent. The hike to the lake is fantastic and well-maintained. The entire round trip takes about 3.5 hours. After about 1.5 hours of hiking, you’ll reach the second lake, which is incredibly beautiful. It’s the perfect spot to sit, relax, and enjoy your lunch while taking in the gorgeous views.

Joffre Lakes is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking breathtaking natural beauty in BC. The hike to all three lakes – Lower, Middle, and Upper Joffre Lakes – spans about 10 km round-trip with a 370-meter elevation gain. While Lower Joffre Lake is just a quick 5-minute walk from the parking lot and has nice views, it can’t compare to the incredible scenery at the Middle and Upper Lakes. Middle Joffre Lake, the true gem of the trio, offers stunning turquoise waters that have to be seen to be believed. The color comes from glacial silt, which reflects light in a unique way. Upper Joffre Lake, though slightly more challenging to reach, is also impressive, with spectacular views of Matier Glacier and the surrounding peaks at an elevation of about 1,600 meters. The hike itself is moderate, with sections that can be steep and rocky, but it’s well worth the effort for the unforgettable scenery. If you’re looking for a rewarding adventure and some of the best views in BC, Joffre Lakes is the place to go. Make sure to bring good hiking shoes, plenty of water, and a camera to capture the incredible landscapes along the way!

One of the best hikes I have done. It is not long, but it is not an easy hike with steep hills and rocky trails. There are three lakes, and the views are breathtaking. During summer, a reservation is required, which opens up two days in advance. I would definitely recommend the hike, and if you have time, try to complete the whole hike. It is totally worth it. The colors of lakes are amazing. These are all unedited photos and videos.

One of the best places I have visited in the world. The views are beyond imagination. The 5 km hike one way is a bit difficult because of the incline but the views are totally worth it. Getting down is easy comparatively. Do not miss visiting the Upper Lake because views keep on getting beautiful as you reach the upper Lake. The experience is out of this world. Such a breathtakingly beautiful. Joffre Lakes Provincial Park is a stunning area located in British Columbia, Canada. It's known for its three vivid turquoise glacier-fed lakes along a hiking trail that leads through alpine forests and past waterfalls up to stunning vistas of glaciers and peaks. It's a popular spot for hiking, camping, and photography, offering breathtaking natural beauty. Highly recommended place.

I recently visited Joffre Lakes and, as a newcomer to hiking with a mostly sedentary lifestyle, I was both nervous and excited about the challenge. Despite knowing it would be a tough uphill trek, I was eager to experience the beauty I’d heard so much about. The first lake is just minutes away from the parking area and is absolutely stunning. From there, the hike became more intense. It took me nearly two hours to reach the middle lake, with several rest stops along the way. The uphill climb was exhausting, but the moment I caught my first glimpse of the middle lake, all my fatigue melted away. The serene beauty of the lake filled me with a surprising burst of energy. I spent about 30 minutes there, taking pictures and soaking in the view. The final stretch to the upper lake was shorter but more challenging, with an even steeper ascent. However, my eagerness to see the lake kept me motivated. When I finally reached the upper lake, I was awestruck. The world seemed to pause around me. I spent an hour there, sitting on the rocks, removing my shoes and socks, and dipping my feet into the icy glacier water while enjoying my lunch. For anyone planning to visit, I highly recommend bringing plenty of water, food, sunscreen, and bug/mosquito repellents, especially during the summer. Don’t forget to get the free day pass two days in advance at 7 AM. Joffre Lakes is a breathtaking experience worth every step of the hike.

100% recommendation to go and visit there, very beautiful view and warm water except when it meets the creeks. Easy hike right side of the lake. Campsite are good you can easily fit three tents and a car but two recommended. But of drive but worth it. No connection to the outside world no Internet no network, if you feel like you need break the place to go to. Swimming, Paddle boarding, kayaking. Rangers are helpful as well. Clean bathroom pictures aren’t clear pics bc of smoke.

Beautiful mountain lake with a nice day-use area. It's roughly 8 km down a dirt road to get to the lake, but it was totally worth it. We took our young children here for a picnic, and they had a blast. There is a grassy area, a beach, and picnic tables. There were only vault toilets, but that's expected because this place is kind of in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't recommend the campground here. The sites were way too small and close together for my liking - - and way too close to the road. We'd come back here for another day trip though - - it's really picturesque.

The road to get there is 13 km of gravel, but it's accessible with any car. Note: there's no cell signal at the destination.

Date April.23,2022 the Birkenhead park still close due to snow and some broken tree, but you can drive up to the gate then walk for another 1.9km which is like 40min-1hour walk. You can drive using 4x4 or regular car but be prepare driving there as there is some loose gravel and not fully renovated drive road. The park it self still amazing specially the lake and snowy mountain. It was flat trail around the campground and there is washroom available when we go up there also we see some people did camping near blackwater lake. It was a family friendly trail. You must visit here.

This place is amazingly beautiful. It's great for camping, kayaking, swimming, fishing and relaxing. Very peaceful place. Sand beach is good for kids. Good camping spots.

A gorgeous lake! I highly recommend renting a canoe, and rowing out to the middle. Go and explore! Go and find the small freezing cold glacial melt waterfalls that feed this gorgeous and clear water.

Campsite is very clean and very quiet with loads of space per site. Nice place to spend a relaxing day at the lake. Service road up there is very manageable also.

We are horse people and wanted a non- nose to tail trail experience. A proper ride. We booked the private ride and this became the absolute highlight of our Canada trip. The horses were some of the best I’ve ever ridden, absolute push button and so responsive, and our guide Eva was so warm and lovely. What a great day!

My friends and I had a lovely afternoon on our tour with Susan! I rode on Honey the horse and she was so gentle and relaxed. Beautiful views of Pemberton throughout the whole tour. Would highly recommend!

We went for a group ride for 2HRS, 1 adult and 3 kids, our youngest was only 4yo :) Bob and Susan were so nice and provided her with special saddle :) Great experience for everyone! Horses are well trained and beautiful. Our guide was not very talkative and i really appreciated it, so we were able just enjoy our walk and nature around. The trail goes through the woods and bushes with a nice creek crossing (crossed twice on the way out and back). One huge thing: DO NOT FORGET a bug spray 😀

Please go & support these beautiful people! Eva was so lovely the entire time & has highlighted my Canada experience! Horses are responsive and respectful. Not a thing I would change 💗

We took our family on this amazing experience - From start to finish, it was fun, safe, and unforgettable. Susan and Bob were amazing—patient, knowledgeable, and great with our children. The horses were so well cared for and gentle, and the trail we rode through was absolutely stunning—peaceful, scenic, and fun! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing horseback riding experience!🐎🐴 The horses were attentive and well-trained, which made the ride enjoyable and safe. Susan and Bob, the owners of the ranch, are wonderful people - warm, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. The ranch is set in a beautiful location, adding even more charm to the whole experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and special horseback riding adventure in Canada!🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴

Best-in-class horseback riding experience. Suitable for beginners or intermediate riders. Highly suggested attraction when visiting Whistler or the surrounding area. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We did the two hour ride. After signing waivers, they matched us with horses that suited each rider. After a short ride through the city, we took a scenic horse trail. The guide gave us the option to run the horses, which was exhilarating. At the midway point, we had a photo op highlighting the beautiful landscape and mountains. Near the end, we even crossed through a stream. 5/5 Experience at a great price. MUST VISIT!

Amazing Falls! Definitely worth your time. We went in mid February, I would recommend using spikes with your shoes as the path to the falls was very slippery because of the snow. We slipped a couple of times but safely managed to travel back and forth. But it would have to do it again in snow would not go there without the spikes! Beautiful views

This place is a must visit destination in this area. Pleasant hike, fenominal views of the river and falls. We had a wonderful time, thanks to the fair weather at the time. Highly recommend, easy path to walk.

Really cool place to visit. The trail to the falls is moderate, as the sign states, steep banks and fast flowing water. Certainly manageable, though, with decent shoes. Kids and elderly persons can certainly manage the walk. I went off the main pathway (not recommended for inexperienced people of course) and got closer to the river. A really beautiful spot overall, I will return one day.

1.5km hike from the parking lot, took me one hour. It's mostly level but I'd recommend hiking boots because there's some small rocks to walk over on the trail. Don't let your children run or ride their bike on the trail as they could end up in the river below and that would be bad! Campsite is pretty sweet next door too but I imagine it's hard to get a spot during summer

Visited twice , water flow varies time to time. 2.7 km hike both ways and takes about 50 min going and coming back. Sounds of waterfalls and that foggy water sprinkles adds beauty to this place . Saw a rainbow during sunny day of the hike. Difficulty level is easy from my experience

This is a terrific hike not to be missed. It's about 1.5km to the falls on an easy incline with a roaring river on your left the entire time. Try 2-3 hours prior to sunset to get the falls back lit by the setting sun. The volume of water is truly amazing and you see it twist and turn after the falls in the canyons . The hike back is slightly downhill and not technical. Great pit stop if you're in the area.

WOW! Great trail to the falls and so much to see along the wall. WEAR GOOD SHOES. Not much elevation gain at all but the path is somewhat narrow and rocky in some areas. About 2 miles round trip and totally worth it
