カリブー山脈のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Clearwater River Trail winds through a lush forest to Triple Decker Falls and beyond to Candle Creek Falls. The trail is fairly steep at times, so good footwear and trekking poles can be helpful.

This dirt pull-off from Clearwater Valley Road is the trailhead for the Clearwater River Trail. There is a small site set up by a local church for borrowing trekking poles and returning them at the end of your adventure. There are no restrooms or water fountains here, so come prepared.

Triple Decker Falls is a three-tiered waterfall, cascading roughly 60 meters over volcanic rock into a pool at the bottom. The forest around the falls is dense, and the trail is easily accessible from Clearwater Valley Road. After heavy rain, the falls will flow more strongly, but be careful on the trail, as it can get slippery.

Canim Falls are a set of large falls formed where the Canim River drops about 25 meters. Stairs and viewing platforms make it easy to get a glimpse of these stunning cascades. Spring runoff makes it especially dramatic, and in the coldest months of winter, the falls can freeze. They are also surrounded by forest and basalt cliffs, and the thick forests make the area feel truly wild.

Mahood Falls is a dramatic waterfall tucked into the backcountry on the path to Canim Falls. The falls plunge over 30 meters through a narrow rock chute, creating a loud, powerful display, and are easily accessible, with a wild atmosphere.

The Canim Falls Trail is a short, well-maintained hike that brings visitors to one of the area’s most impressive waterfalls. The trail winds through forests before reaching two viewpoints: one overlooking Canim Falls and the other overlooking Mahood Falls. The Canim River rushes through a narrow volcanic rock canyon, and there are several railings and platforms with views of the river, and interpretive signs explain the area’s geology and natural history.

The Pyramid Mountain trail ascends above Clearwater Valley in the heart of the Caribou Mountains. The climb starts mellow, with a few benches along the way to rest at, but the final ascent steepens and transitions into switchbacks, and the forest gives way at the top of the peak to great views.

Pyramid Mountain is easy to spot; its triangular shape stands out above the surrounding forest. It is a volcanic peak formed by ancient lava flows and erosion. After a substantial climb to the summit of Pyramid Mountain, continue back to the parking area, then consider a quick jaunt to Dawson Falls for some final views.
