Elev Gain

Overview

This is a moderate out and back trail to Ribbon Falls in Bow Valley Wildland Provincial Park.

VERY gradual elevation gain this is a very doable trail for many abilities if you do not go the entire way to the falls. It is 20km round trip to the falls and back. Long but easy, wide, low incline trail. You follow the river the entire time, if you can no longer see the river you have taken a wrong turn. There are some turn offs that are not well marked but overall it's an easy trail to follow.

Did this hike yesterday, beautiful all the way up. Net elevation gain (around 300/350m) is hardly noticeable. Lots of up and down but very manageable. Falls were beautiful. Trail was fairly dry, only a couple damp places

Ribbon Creek - overnight hike!

Easy 9k hike out to Ribbon Falls. Can set up camp and do smaller hikes around. Tim caught 6 fish in the creek! Ribbon Lake not doable for doggos with the chains and sketchy ledges.
