Bergeron Falls — Upper viewpoints

From the common parking area, take the right branch at the first fork around 600 m, then continue past Vomer Creek toward the major junction around kilometre 2.2. Keep left for the upper-falls route, cross Bergeron Creek on the footbridge and continue to the viewpoint benches. Return the same way before entering the steep lower circuit. Respect the barrier at the unstable old lookout; this shorter outing avoids the full circuit’s lower creek crossings.
