Aitken Falls Trail is a short but thrilling easy-to-moderate 1km hiking trail approximately 14.4km from Houston, leading to a spectacular waterfall canyon on Aitken Creek. The trail has been an unofficial local favourite for years and was formally developed due to its exceptional scenery. The trail starts on an old landing and follows a grown-in road to a fence line, which leads directly to the edge of the canyon rim. A side trail approximately 50 metres before the canyon viewpoint descends steeply via switchbacks (150m) to the base of the second of two falls this lower section earns the trail its difficult classification due to the final pitch into the canyon. The falls are most spectacular in early summer when winter snowmelt is at its peak, though the site is worth visiting throughout the season. Wide enough for cross-country skiing in winter. Dogs welcome. Located on the unceded traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en people.
