Great area to go for a hike.. quite an along the trail places to stop an over look the water..
Not sure there any way down to water eadhe from the PP
Beautiful place to visit with the family. The trails are not too difficult but they're inaccessible for someone with a disability. You can see chipmunks, mushrooms and a lot of vegetation.
The entrance to the trail we drove to is at the end of a dead end street, and we just parked along the road. There are no washrooms. However, the trail was beautiful and so green! We broke off onto the glacier pothole trail which is what leads to the cliff edge. It is a beautiful view, but there are no railings or anything so be mindful when you're on the rocks. It was very up and down through out the hike, and we got a good workout but it wasn't too challenging. We brought our two small dogs as well and kept them on leash at all times. However, there were no rivers or water for the pups to drink from (thankfully we always have water for them) so just make sure you bring water to help hydrate. It was a good hike!
Great trails!! Not maintained, as in there are no rest benches or garbage. The trail starts at the end of a road. Street parking. BEWARE: THERE IS AN UNFENCED CLIFF IF YOU HEAD EAST OF THE MAIN TRAIL, YOULL SEE THE MARKING FOR THIS TRAIL. WE DID NOT READ THAT THE CLIFF WAS THERE. WE HAVE KIDS AND A DOG. KEEP THOSE PRECIOUS CLOSE TO YOU.
Not suitable for the real young or old. No public washrooms. The terrain has many hills.
Its a gorgeous walk. Will do it again!!
The hike starts off easy but once you are on the escarpment the trail becomes more difficult with a lot of up and down sections. It had rained earlier in the day which made it muddy and slippery. A dry trail would be easier. The views are wonderful. Lots of unique flora and glacial remnants. The guides were very knowledgeable and patient with an old out of shape hiker.
