Hike to Overlander Falls
Fraser-Fort George H, British Columbia
4.5
0.6 mi
/ 150 ft gain
Once you get to the pull out and head down the trail it is a 500m downhill walk to the lookout point of Overlander Falls. The waterfall is 10m (33ft) tall and 30m (98ft) wide. On a clear day you can see tall mountains around you and if you look down stream away from the falls it is just as beautiful as the falls. In the winter and early spring you can get to the falls but I would recommend wear...

Beaver Falls
Fraser-Fort George H, British Columbia
4.0
1.2 mi
/ 25 ft gain
The hike is relatively flat, short, and goes along the Holmes River to Beaver Falls. What the waterfall lacks in height it makes up for in sheer volume and sound.
Along the way to the waterfall you walk through a lush green forest with lots of bunchberry bushes and other assorted wild flowers. Everywhere you turn during late spring you can see butterflies in the forest.
It's hard to tell how...
Explore Jasper Lake
Jasper, Alberta
This is a great photography destination because it's not unusual to have this whole place to yourself. It's less than a mile from the parking lot and there's just enough water in the winter time to catch that perfect reflection. Whether you visit during the winter or the summer, sunrise is probably the best time to watch Pyramid mountain light up.
