Elevation profile

A full-route elevation profile is not available yet.

A reusable trail line has not yet been verified for this outing. Any location pin shows the published location described above; it does not draw the hike or establish a navigable approach.

Getting there & parking

From Valemount, follow Whiskey Fill Road south toward Canoe Forest Service Road and the marina signs. At the West Canoe Forest Road fork, turn right and continue to approximately the 15 km marker; the trail begins just before that marker. The local guide recommends high clearance and warns about active logging. Follow road signs and any radio requirements, keep the travelled road clear, and do not bring an RV or trailer up an approach with limited turning space.

On the trail

These are the steeper branches from the Aloha area down toward the waterfall bases, separate from the main rocky lookout. The local guide’s August 2026 notice closes both rope-assisted branches because of avalanche damage and rotten snow. Do not follow an old track or rope into the closed sections. The approximately 2 km historical outing describes those branches when usable; it is not a currently available route recommendation. The main lookout has a different, shorter distance and its own condition assessment.

The way back

The historical 2 km return visits the steeper waterfall-base branches. Both branches were closed in the August 19, 2026 guide because of avalanche damage and rotten snow; do not enter them without a reopening notice.

Conditions & seasons

Winter use is closed because of avalanche exposure. The August 2026 branch closure extends beyond that normal winter restriction; a summer date alone does not establish that these damaged descents have reopened.

Winter route

The local guide closes this route in winter because of avalanche exposure.

These are dated research notes. Open the trip planner for current available weather and advisory feeds; no alert found does not establish that a trail or road is open.
