Helmcken Falls Rim Trail

Hiking the Helmcken Falls Rim Trail is a spectacular hiking route north of Clearwater, BC, that will allow you to experience the powerful waterfalls that can be found along the coursing Murtle River. Setting out from the parking area, follow the trail as it works west through the forest along the edge of the river. As you make your way through the serene woodland landscape, you will gradually climb uphill along the escarpment to arrive at the viewpoint after 4km of hiking. Once there, you will be greeted by an amazing view looking out across the canyon to the rushing water of the falls that drop 141m to crash into the river below. After admiring the power and beauty of Helmcken Falls, head back along the trail to gain a different perspective of the forest as you work your way back to the parking area.
