A true outdoor experience. Be prepared to cross rivers and you will encounter wildlife. When we hiked in a grizzly bear had killed a horse and was feeding on it. This is not the place for the inexperienced trekkers. Beautiful but rugged

If you're driving down by Buttle Lake, try camping at Ralph River Falls and take the short drive over to Myra Falls. Beautiful rock formations and when the water's not too high one can climb over and amongst the falls. The hike from the trailhead to the falls is only about 1k and not too hard.
