Ribbon Falls

07/19/16

My GPS showed 11.1km to the Ribbon Falls Campground, and it was just a couple hundred meters before the falls. The campsites are just big enough for a small 3-person backpacking tent. The hike runs through a valley with massive humbling mountains on both sides, and at the campground you're surrounded on 3 sides by peaks.

Camp at Upper Siffleur Falls

05/18/16

This hike can be thought of in two halves. The first half (4km) is a very well maintained trail with boardwalks, lookout points with hand rails, and information signs along the way. These first 4km are easy going and non-technical. The second half (4km) begins at the second falls with a sign saying "Marked Trail Ends". This second section involves some short, steep scramble sections and multiple creek crossings involving some slippery rocks. I highly recommend trekking poles for this second half (carbide tips are a plus). The hike ends at a beautiful, quaint campsite with two tent pads and two fire pits, right beside the third and final waterfall. Being enclosed by the gorge wall on one side, the river on one side, and the waterfall on the third side, the campsite has quite a private feel to it with only one way in/out.
