This is a really special adventure. It can get very busy here in the peak season (July and August) when whale watching outfitters from Tofino run groups here multiple times per day. This doesn't spoil the experience by any means, but you will have to compete for the coveted waterfall spot! At one point it was also possible to camp overnight in the park near the springs (the camping area was at the trailhead, not on the rocky bluff where the springs sit). It can be tricky (and pricey) to organize transportation to and from the springs if you choose to camp overnight, but the location is idyllic and camping out enables you to monopolize the springs once the day-trippers head back to town!

I love this trail so much! The views from Eagle Rock (and the entire trail, to be honest) are incredible. I've done trail twice and both times saw lots of wildlife (deer, coyotes, rattle snakes, hawks and bunnies). I recommend doing the Musch loop as well- if you start out on the Musch trail you go through a lovely meadow (deer country!) and then work your way down to a creekbed and then back up to Eagle Rock. After you enjoy the mind blowing views from Eagle Rock you can cruise back to the parking lot along the fire road (easy-peasy). Or you can keep exploring more trails!
