Ribbon Fall can be viewed from the valley without hiking. That is the view in this photo. It’s a seasonal waterfall, so it’s better viewed during the spring snowmelt in May, maybe later in June if the valley has greened out. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of […]

However, the Clearwater River is a major river and so any waterfall along its journey towards the Fraser River will be quite […]
