Explore the beautiful moss filled McGillivray Canyon in just a few hours!

Between Pigeon Mountain and Mount McGilliveray, pull off the road and slow down until you see a little dirt road turn off to the large parking area.

Follow the trail heading south- don't take the transcanada trail- further up you will find another small trail that takes you to the creek bed. Follow the creek bed into the canyon.

We explored the canyon for a few hours- past the picturesque chockstone before turning around. Theres lots of chains and log ladders to make traveling through the canyon easier. We explored the canyon back in September and I'd say the water was about waist deep in some sections.
