From here, there are several trailheads that leads to wonderful destinations. like trail 1, 7, 4, Squirrel, Woodpecker and more.
Enjoy the view of the Athabasca River and also where the Rafter’s land their crafts. You have to make your own plans for this place, because there is just a plethora things to do. Going to the top in the moon light is one of the things that comes to mind. Decide for yourself!
