What travellers are saying
- S Smith1 contributionPlease BE CAREFUL. I read most places (including the Provincial Park website) that this was an easy hike and while the hike itself is not technically difficult the steep embankment to the river is daunting and you have an extremely narrow path you are walking on. You also have to make way for people coming back which makes passing on the already very narrow trail even more tricky. It is very rocky and there is loose dirt. If you have the wrong shoes and are not careful you can fall and you are very high up. It is treacherous if you are not alert, well-footed, careful and agile.
I do not recommend it for seniors, for very young children or for anyone who has a fear of heights.
Having said all of that, the views are stunning and the power of the falls is incredible.Written August 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julie L4 contributionsThis place is amazing. The staff are so friendly and informative. Thank you for letting me know that a morning ride is better than an afternoon one. My kids rode a horse for the very first time today and they had the time of their lives. The highlight were the horses going into the water. Thank you to the two wranglers that took us for the ride today. Amazing experience and memories to cherish for a lifetime. We will definitely be coming back 😀Written May 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paula V125 contributionsThis beautiful and modern building also houses the Pemberton District Community Centre. Many activities take place here. The washrooms also have showers( $3.75). The library has a nice sitting area and WiFI, enough outlets for people to charge their cell phones, tablets.
Nice place to sit and read.Written March 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The folks there genuinely care about sharing their slice of Canadian frontier history. It is a pleasant attraction to take in if you are in the area.Written October 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ScottspineStirling, UK5 contributionsPemberton to Lillooet via Goldbridge. Dirt/gravel forest service road, took us about 4/5 hours. Be prepared for a dusty car and lots of excitement. This is not a drive for low profie cars, unreliable vehicles or the faint hearted. A full tank of gas is also recommended.
If you are used to off road driving, this route has amazing views. The hotel cafe in Goldbridge is also well worth a visit for its out of time feel and simply being there for recharging in the middle of an exhausting drive.Written August 4, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Most of the walk was on a wood trail above the water which was interesting. There are signs on trees encouraging to do certain workouts while enjoying the walk. Washrooms are available. There a connector trail to Narin falls if you would like more walk.I felt that the water itself there needs more cleaning.Written September 17, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pemberton GPemberton, Canada22 contributionsWe were lucky enough to see a few black bears way off, on the edge of the clear cut. Signs of deer, grizzly & blackbear were all around. Saw no deer this trip, unlike the last few, but we saw a moose & a grizzly while driving to the site on the Upper South Creek FSR. Note: dogs should be leashed for your safety & theirs!
Background: Meager Creek was closed, except for winter by snowmobile or skis touring, over the Glacier & Icefield.
University of British Columbia's Alma Matter Varsity Outdoor Club completed the Harrison Hut Trail August 2014.
Directions: Drive (4x4) 2 hours/ 64km west from Pemberton Village on Pemberton Meadows Road. It will change into a gravel road, that then becomes the South Creek FSR (Forest Service Road). 40km from the end of asphalt paving the road splits in 2 . Take the South Fork left, uphill onto a logging road for 4 km. The old Logging road & the final 2 km of the South Creek FSR are badly pot-holed. Please don't take the family car. Use 4 x 4 with good ground clearance. Mini SUV's like Subaru-Foresters will bottom-out. Lifted late model pre-1979 2-wheeldrive pickup trucks are fine too, as they have their oil pans & gas tanks lifted up into the chassis.
At the end of the logging road you`ll find the trail head in the old clearcut. After 6 km the VOC Harrison Hut Trail bisects the existing Meager Creek Hotsprings Trail. It`s 3.5 km more to the pools. Because the pools are still officially closed there are no fecal coliform tests being done. Nor are the pools being flushed every month as they were before the slide took out the road. The pools were also cleared of sand every couple of days. Take a folding steel or high end composite shovel & be prepared to dig out a pool before you can use it – cheap plastic or low grade aluminium won`t work. We were also lucky enough to show up just after other hikers had dug out the pools & flushed them. Flushing for at least 3/4 an hr. is best
There is Free camping but there are no established official campsites. Camping is officially banned around the hot spring pools, as the” Meager Creek Hot Springs Recreational Area” is officially designated a “Minimum Impact Site”. Camping in the Valley is forbidden too, due to the ongoing landslide & avalanche danger, of this active volcanic zone. Many camp in the Upper Meager Valley, just inside the tree-line, above the beginning of the clearcut. That’s where we stopped about 1 ½ -2 km from the trail head.Written November 10, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GinnyLGBurnaby, Canada3 contributionsthe pluses include fabulous views of snow covered mountains and the amazing snowscape will take your breath away. I saw a majestic frozen waterfall. pretty rigorous for a first timer in snowshoeing.
the minuses are the few sharp cliffs you will have to get up and down to get to the hot springs, the water was way too hot and i couldn't get more than my toes in despite cooling it down with snow. zero phone signals so bring along your walkie talkies if u need to communicate with team mates.
Be sure to bring your own lunch. not good for kids. probably for friends or couples.Written February 14, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The lake was partly frozen, partly clear and had a huge natural raft of fallen tree trunks gathered at one end.

- Peter C13 contributionsI arrived over an hour early but no one was there so the range overseer let me get started early. After filling out the paperwork, we got started, going through the handguns, then the rifles, then the shotguns, and finally the sniper rifle. The guns were well-calibrated and were mostly on target (at least for a relative gun newbie like me). It felt amazing using these weapons and I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience it in a safe environment. I'd like to thank the guy in charge who took pictures when I asked.Written March 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dmbfan1113 contributionsThis is actually one of the most beautiful courses I have ever played. Every hole is beautiful, and the mountain backdrop is breathtaking. The course is challenging and very well maintained. Absolutely worth the extra trip if you're in Whistler.
ONLY reason it didn't get 5 stars??? The mosquitos are ABSOLUTELY RAVENOUS!!!! Holy cow, you gotta bring some strong bug spray. Re-apply on the back 9 too. Really took away from the overall experience, we couldn't even sit outside after our round and have a drink.Written July 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
