Good morning hikers!
☀️We hope everyone had a fantastic long weekend! Our first group made it successfully to the falls AND to Love lake!
📍May 2026 trail report 📍
- main trail was accessible with very little downfall
- smaller creeks are noticeably low or already dried up
- Love Lake trail is mainly clear of snow with some patches in shaded areas and present at higher altitudes
- Love Lake is still frozen over
🚫With the current conditions of the forests being this dry this early in the season, we cannot stress enough to be extra careful when it comes to cooking over flame ( Jetboil / MSR cooking equipment) , packing hydration supplies and purifying tabs for less clean water sources. Any open flame within a BC park is subject to fines.
📳Also, packing a communication device is a great idea for any circumstance that may arise out there.

✨We love feedback! Please feel free to contact us after your trip to update us on current trail conditions or about our services as well!
🗓️Looking forward to seeing you all this season!
😎Have a great day! Be safe & hike on!
