Wapiti Onion Hiking Trail - Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia
The Wapiti Onion Trail crosses through Wapiti Lake Provincial Park. This 30 km trail is located on the East slope of the Rocky Mountains and is open for hiking and horseback riding. The first 19 kms of the trail to Wapiti Lake follows the north side of the Wapiti River and the shores of a few smaller lakes. Scenic views are plentiful, especially while along lakeshores. There is a short side trail (200 metres) to Wapiti Falls at 7 km. A reasonable goal would be to reach Wapiti Lake in day one. Backpacking time to Wapiti Lake is variable and depending on your level of experience allow 6-9 hours for the one way trip to km 19.
The trail from Wapiti Lake to Onion Lake ascends steeply into the alpine. The 2 km climb above Wapiti Lake has an elevation change of 1000 metres. Between 24 and 25 km there is a terrific view of both Wapiti Lake to the south and Onion Lake to the north. At this point the trail descends 500 metres to Onion Lake. Allow 7-10 hours for the trip from Wapiti Lake to Onion Lake.

Teepee Falls Hike near Tumbler Ridge B.C.
Teepee Falls is an easy day trip from Fort St. John, 35kms north of Tumbler Ridge on Hwy 52 you will find the trail head for this easy hike. It is 6kms round trip with an amazing view of the Murray River and a up close look at the falls!
I would completely recommend this hike for you and your young hikers! We did it with our 7,5 & 3 yr old. They loved it and had energy to spare on the way back to the truck.
Be prepared to keep a hold of your little hikers as you approach the falls. There are some unfenced, steep, drop offs. Nothing crazy just nice to be aware of.
I also enjoyed the little loop to the look out over the river. It gave us a nice spot to linger and have a snack before heading back to the truck.

Spring Hike on Mount Spieker - Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia
Welcome to the Tumbler Ridge UNESCO Global Geopark! Routes on flat-topped Mt. Spieker make for excellent hiking through intriguing geological scenery. The summit plateau, and the vertical cliffs which support it, are formed from rocks of the Gates Formation which were deposited in the Lower Cretaceous Period. Coal seams from this rock formation have allowed for the development of the metallurgical coal resources in the Tumbler Ridge area.
The finest scenery is reached by ascending to the saddle ahead, then keeping right and heading northeast and then north, to the end of the mountain. This route leads past areas of thickly bedded sandstone and conglomerate bedrock, deeply cracked in many places to create small grottos which are suitable for rock scrambling and exploring. There are a number of alpine tarns amongst the rocks.
Towards the end of this route the mountain is bounded by vertical cliffs on its east and west sides, which tend to separate and break off to create fine rock scenery. The ridge narrows to the north, until it squeezes down to a narrow strip just a few metres wide, dubbed the Neck. This has an impressive pattern of intersecting cracks. Below the cliffs on the east side are two small lakes. The summit beyond the Neck forms a worthy turnaround point, and offers good views. It is then possible to return via the actual summit, 1971 metres above sea level.
There are areas with large quartzite erratics strewn on conglomerate bedrock. In other areas thinner-bedded rock layers predominate, with impressive cross-bedding, an indicator of ancient river or tidal currents which deposited sand grains.

Tunnel Mountain - Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia
Welcome to the Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark! Tunnel Mountain is a unique, natural tunnel through the top of a mountain west of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. We started at the Windfall Lake trailhead, then proceeded a couple kilometres down the trail to Windfall Lake. We then bush-whacked along a creek, increasing in elevation. We broke out of the trees into a sub-alpine meadow with mountain all around. After ascending and descending a couple mountain ridges, we made it to the base of Tunnel Mountain. Although it looked impossible, there was a line of short alpine trees that lead to a steep scree slope just below the large tunnel opening. The scree slope was nerve-wracking, but possible. The large opening in the tunnel was amazing. Five to ten metres in, the tunnel makes a sharp right turn then shoots up to an opening near the summit of the mountain. The whole trip was amazing. The weather was threatening, but was kind enough to allow me to film. Huge thanks to Romy and Kevin for the trip!

Babcock Falls in 4K! Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia
Babcock Falls is an eight metre high waterfall located in the Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark. A short trail leads through pine forests and wetlands to 8 metre high Babcock Falls. The wet sections have wooden boardwalks. Some unique wetland flowers are found along the trail.
The trailhead is 200 metres before the Core Lodge. The parking lot is on the left side of the road at km 13.8. The trail crosses a small creek, crosses the mine access road (watch for truck traffic), descends through swampy willow thickets, then joins a reclaimed exploration road and passes into wet subalpine meadows. The tree and plant species found here contrast with those on the drier slopes of the Boulder Gardens.
The developed trail ends overlooking the falls, but a short steep path leads to the pool right at the base of the falls, which are formed from a lip of resistant sandstone. Fossilized logs can be found in these rocks, especially around one small overhang with a good view of the falls. (wnms.ca)

Description
Windfall Lake - Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia
The Windfall Lake area, west of Tumbler Ridge, offers some of the finest alpine hiking in the Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark.
Windfall lake is a great hike with multiple options, it can be as short as 10 KM's return. The main trail going to the lake crosses multiple streams and can be wet at times, but is a fairly easy slow ascent up the valley to the lake gaining roughly 350 Meters. From there you have the option of taking the circular route along the ridges east of the lake across pinnacle peak before descending down a steep avalanche chute into a cut block and back to the start. or if you have time you can set up camp at the lake and there are a couple of options: one being Tunnel mountain northwest of the lake; you have to hike up the steep hillside beside the lake then from there you trek along a ridge to tunnel mountain. Tunnel mountain has a cave on its side which if you enter it you can actually follow it through to the peak of the mountain. Another option would be to scramble up to the top of Mt. Crum, the tallest in the region, which is a little more technical but still no climbing gear is necessary. (

Red Deer Falls - Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada
Red Deer Falls, located in the Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark, is surrounded by beautiful mountain and canyon scenery. Prentiss Gray left the first description and took the first photos of Red Deer Falls. He wrote of '...Seventy foot of sheer drop where the river plunged into a gorgeous pool, hemmed in by towering rocks. It paid for all the trip as we gazed a that silvery ribbon.' (Exploring Tumbler Ridge, by Dr. Charles Helm (2008))
The trail to Red Deer Falls is easily accessible by ATV, but can be done with a 4wd vehicle.
