281 sats \ 4 comments \ @gnilma 15 Dec alter_native
It had been a busy morning, so I didn't get time to write and post the hiking post until now later in the afternoon. Continuing with the waterfalls, today we visit Nairn Falls, located near Pemberton, BC, about 2.5 hours drive north of Vancouver. The Nairn Falls Trail is a about 3km long out-and-back with approximately 100m elevation gain. The trail follows the river, which I believe to be a section of the Green River. After a short 1.5km hike with little elevation gain, the falls come in sight and can be viewed via a fenced off platform. The falls is not particularly large but the amount of waterflow is quite a lot.
