gnilma's Hiking Adventures 47 - Flood Falls

Continuing the waterfall mini-series, this week we head to Flood Falls, located near Hope BC. The parking lot at the Flood Falls trailhead is not very big, but fortunately, the trail is also not very popular, so finding parking was pretty easy for us. The Flood Falls trail is a short and easy 1km out-and-back trail with minimal elevation gain. The trail was flat, wide, and well maintained; although we had to cross a short section of rocks before reaching the falls. Throughout the trail, we were surrounded by the forest, but due to the low elevation and loose canopy of the trees, we saw quite a bit of undergrowth during our walk. We reached the falls after a short 10 minute walk and was able to get right next to the falls. There was also a pool of water at the bottom of the falls, so the kids spent some time playing in the water before we all headed back to the car.

Is there a path to walk up to the top of the falls? Would be a great view but looks pretty steep and dense.

I don't think so, at least there was no proper trail to get to the top of the falls. And it's usually pretty dangerous to climb up a steep hill next to a waterfall, as the mist from the falls gets the surrounding ground very wet, making it easy to slip and fall. But looking at the pictures now, I guess it is possible for someone to climb up if they wanted to.
