Hiking Difficult
Ascend the Great Divide Trail to the Col at 2240m before descending continuously to the sun-alpine forest at 2140m, keeping west of the creek throughout. Turn NE following Waterfalls Creek and the broken trail as it descends the valley passing through mixed meadows, bypassing waterfalls and sometimes through challenging bush. The last 1.8km are easy going to the campsite nestled on the Cline River.
Difficult
