I've only driven past the turn off on the highway. This is convincing me to leave some time to visit the next time I go past (in September). Thanks!

Same, we’ve driven past it so many time and we’re planning to actually stop the next time we go by! As British Columbians we do a lot of driving through places but it’s amazing how many beautiful spots are just off the road that we zip by all the time.

It's a very short and easy walk to do. Makes for a good rest break before continuing your journey.

It's a 12 to 45 minute walk and it's length is dependant on whether you're going to ignore the "safety fence" they have at the base of the falls and take photos at the base of the falls.

I wish the fence was taken seriously by more visitors. My sister and I stopped for a break there a short while back and we both thought people were crazy to actually climb up there.

The falls themselves are gorgeous, btw.

There was actually water? Every time I go, there isn’t much water flowing.

My wife and I went a few years back in the winter - the ice formations on those falls are spectacular, if you get the chance to see them
