Rainbow Falls Loop

Route Description for Rainbow Falls Loop

While the Rainbow Falls Loop is a quick hike, it packs all of its elevation gain into a fairly short distance, making the route a bit difficult in places. Additionally, the proximity to the creek means that sections of the trail can become quite muddy in wet weather. Make sure to wear proper hiking footwear to ensure you have the best footing along the trail. Hikers should also note that grizzly bears have been frequently spotted in the area around this trail. As when using any BC trails, bring bear spray to avoid any close encounters.

Setting out from the parking lot, follow the trail to the left to begin your climb uphill towards Rainbow Falls. After approximately 750 m, you will reach the area around the falls, where you can find some views of the water cascading down the beautiful rock formations. To the right, you will find a trail that branches off toward the creek. Follow this route to cross over Twentyone Mile Creek and continue along its northern bank. This section of the trail is also used as a mountain biking route, so be aware of your surroundings as you make your way along the path. Continuing around the Rainbow Falls Loop, you will eventually arrive back at the starting position of your hike next to the carpark.
