Wapiti Onion Hiking Trail - Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia
The Wapiti Onion Trail crosses through Wapiti Lake Provincial Park. This 30 km trail is located on the East slope of the Rocky Mountains and is open for hiking and horseback riding. The first 19 kms of the trail to Wapiti Lake follows the north side of the Wapiti River and the shores of a few smaller lakes. Scenic views are plentiful, especially while along lakeshores. There is a short side trail (200 metres) to Wapiti Falls at 7 km. A reasonable goal would be to reach Wapiti Lake in day one. Backpacking time to Wapiti Lake is variable and depending on your level of experience allow 6-9 hours for the one way trip to km 19.
The trail from Wapiti Lake to Onion Lake ascends steeply into the alpine. The 2 km climb above Wapiti Lake has an elevation change of 1000 metres. Between 24 and 25 km there is a terrific view of both Wapiti Lake to the south and Onion Lake to the north. At this point the trail descends 500 metres to Onion Lake. Allow 7-10 hours for the trip from Wapiti Lake to Onion Lake.

Monkman Cascades - Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada
In July, 2015, we went on an adventure to the Monkman Cascades with BC Waterfalls. Check out his incredible photos here!
Monkman Provincial Park in Northeastern BC, south of the town of Tumbler Ridge, is an area of beautiful mountain scenery. The hiking trail to Monkman Lake is popular with backpackers looking for a great trip into the heart of the park. The area is rich in history as well. In the 1930's a group of pioneers from northern Alberta scouted and built the Monkman Pass Road. This was developed as a shorter route to the west coast for the agricultural products of the north. Unfortunately, the Second World War interrupted these plans, but not before a model T car loaded with a symbolic bag of grain was pushed, pulled, and dragged through what is now the park and over the continental divide.
As beautiful as the trail to Monkman Lake is, it bypasses the most spectacular feature of the park - the Monkman Cascades. These are a series of ten stunning waterfalls along Monkman Creek that thunder over rock ledges, separated by placid pools. (
This video features Upper and Lower Moore Falls, Brooks Falls, Shire Falls and Monkman Falls, McGinnis Falls, and Chambers Falls.
