The hike along the Adams River Trail is an enjoyable walk in any season, but in late spring we can witness the meltwaters surging through the canyon and we can enjoy the wildflowers along both sides of the trail.   The trailhead is on the north side of the road just after crossing the bridge.

After climbing a short hill, the Adams River Trail follows the river in the forest upstream for 2 km.

The trail arrives at a small beach and cove at the mouth of the canyon.   Paddlers and tubers climb over the bluffs then ride down the canyon in summer, landing at this beach.

We can hike along the bluffs for about 0.25 km to the upper end of the canyon for a view down the length of the narrow channel.

The trail continues upstream for a few more kilometers, but on this day, we had limited time so we turned back and completed the 4.5 km hike in 1.5 hours.   We stopped to enjoy the wildflowers along the way.

honeysuckle
mountain ladyslipper	wintergreen
tiger lilies	thimbleberry

This is a good hike for families, especially on a hot summer day.   We have gone for a short cooling dip at the small beach right before the canyon a few times.   All of the trails of Roderick Haig Brown Provincial Park are worth a visit in any season.
