My partner and I love to travel, whether it be car camping pitching a tent or staying in our little fixer-upper camper.

This was quite the hike!! But so glad I pushed through. The views are gorgeous. Soaked my feet in the lake to cool down. Would definitely recommend this adventure.

Good trail, but watch out for the stumps! And it’s a bit over grown Came on a beautiful day though. Will definitely come again.

Trail was clear and easy to follow. Cave was really cool, Should have listened to the reviews and rode our bicycles the first few kms of the trail. Lots of walking to get to true trail head. However, the walk was still beautiful!!

Easy to navigate, the alpine meadows are beautiful. great views! The first bit is rather steep with lots of up hill. Lots of mosquitoes too so be prepared!

Beautiful spot, who's doesn't love a suspension bridge, not to mention the beautiful blue clear pool of water you can swim in. Unfortunately this place is crazy busy, super hard to enjoy, not very peaceful to say the least.

Very scenic path that is quite easy. Took us about 40 minutes one way if your keeping a good pace. The end of the trail includes a park bench overlooking a picturesque display of the murray river and a steep trail that goes downhill for the adventurous!

Relatively quick easy hike, took under an hour to complete the loop! Worth doing if you're bored in Quesnel.

Nice easy hike, just the first little part is steep. Gorgeous views and clear lakes. Can be tricky to find just keep an eye out for the little blue sign

Campground alright for a quick stay over but would not recommend for multiple nights. It is an hour drive to the town of Jasper so not very convenient for touristing around. There are more washers/dryers out of order in the laundry room than those in working order. It was a quiet stay though nonetheless

Beautiful hike, the lake, ridge, and meadows are gorgeous, and worth the relatively short hike. I only give this 4 stars since the trail needs some drainage work, lots of muddy sections with trail braiding

Ross Lake Provincial Park is a beautiful and quiet place for a summer picnic and swim of an ice fishing experience in the winter. There's lots of parking for a picnic and a swim. There is a good boat launch for non-motorized craft. Hikers will find a great trail that leads around the entire lake. The experience offers a quiet place as a result of the ban of motor boats.

we took the Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive route to get here, although the whole area of Banff is ridiculously scenic. Great place to have lunch and relax, we found it slightly less busy here compared to the rest of the area! Next time we will be bringing our Kayaks!

Hit this peak after going up the valley and hitting Cornwell first. Trail was difficult to navigate/find heading down from the peak. Very windy and steep so ended up going down a scree slope before the Outlier and following the river down to the main trail.

Trail was in great condition and very quiet today, only met 4 groups up to the summit and we had the ridge walk all to ourselves. Views are fabulous and this trail makes for a great day out.

Well maintained trail. Quite a challenging hike

If you are in Banff, be sure to stop here, the views are fantastic and such a gem right in Banff! So calming and peaceful. There are places to stop along the road around the lakes and take pics, stop and smell the fresh air. Drive right to the end to appreciate the views all around!

Construction made the hike a lot shorter. Had to park very close to the base, but you can hike it from down town basically if there isn’t construction. Decent hike. Pretty easy but good views of the town, river, and golf course

This heavily forested trail was just what we needed on a hot day. It's a beautiful trail, although it's not an easy one. The trail is very rocky and there is a lot of scrambling over uneven terrain (which makes it fun for those up for a bit of a challenge). The falls are definitely worth it and if you have an extra half hour, make sure you check out the Stoltmann Lookout viewpoint.

Huge melt has swelled the creek (river) into multiple creeks running under a fair bit of remaining snow pack. If you follow the trail you will get stuck and unable to cross the rapid creek to follow the trail further up. Cross the creek down at lake’s edge (hopefully the log is still there). Dangerous snow pack over running creeks, watch your step, but it’s possible to get the top. Too snowy to reach the second lake but can still get to the views

Closed at the bridge for Enlow Dam construction 1.7 miles out. Otherwise great! (11/28/21)

This was a great hike. We went clockwise which was quite steep right off the bat. Once you reach the first peak, the hike levels out a bit with a final push up to the second peak. Easy going down. Would definitely do this hike again.

Trail has been closed on and off. Trail was super easy except coming back up is difficult. Once you get to the 1st waterfall you can hike up to the left of the waterfall up the large rocks and follow trail to a 2nd waterfall that is way larger than the 1st one.

Very close to Nesbitt's Knee Falls. The trail is good and has short off shot trails on the way, but they are quite tough. You will need a four wheel drive vehicle to get here
