Famous since its discovery & Taller than Niagara Falls — Kinuseo Falls is a crown jewel of our Geopark.
Whether you’re in a hurry or just not up to a big hike there are lots of quick & easy hikes in the Tumbler Ridge area. Great Idea to stop into our Visitor’s Info Centre downtown to pickup trail brochures and get advice on conditions.

Our most visited trackway and dino footprints. Not to be missed!
This quick easy hike is very close to Tumbler Ridge and is one of our most popular destinations!
7 Stops accross 160km of driving – many attractions: a wetland hiking area, three lakes, two waterfalls, and a resurgence spring, and three provincial parks
The creek accelerates through a narrow chute, then plummets down a vertical rock face
A beautiful hike ending with a great view of these falls & the Murray river. Popular for ice climbing in the winter.
At Barbour Falls the creek cascades down a particularly resistant layer of bedrock into a deep pool
Just off the Red Willow Rd (driveable portion of the historical Monkman Pass). Sunset is a special time to enjoy this area.
Even on our Easy Hiking trails the hiker should be aware of wildlife interactions. Of particular note are Black and Grizzly Bears. Almost all human interaction with bears is of a defensive nature in which the bear will make a lot of noise and really just wants you out of his space. It is generally best to play dead in this situation – regardless of Grizzly or Black Bear. Predatory attacks are quick different and most common with Black Bears and Cougars. You must fight back and defend yourself. It is recommended that hikers travel in groups and carry Bear Spray. More information on Bear encounters is available here from the Center for Wildlife Information.
The TRGG trail system offers over 50 self-guided hikes to various geosites. Trails are well signed and information for visitor includes level of difficulty, specific features such as waterfalls, picnicking, dinosaur footprints and geo sites, distance from community to trail head and availability of cell service. Updating of brochures, guidebooks and interpretive signage is a continual process. Self-guided hiking brochures have been developed by the local <a href=”http://www.wnms.ca/” target=”_blank”>Wolverine Nordic Mountain Society (WNMS)</a>. They can be downloaded here or picked up at the Visitor Information Centre and Community Centre downtown.
As you’ll see by our photo galleries the TRGG is one destination where you’re going to run out of camera memory quickly.
