Starting from the Elk Falls Parking Lot, you wind through a towering forest of Douglas firs. Continue along the short trail until you reach the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge. As you step onto the 60-meter-wide bridge, take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the deep canyon walls and the roaring 25-meter cascade of Elk Falls below. After enjoying the view from the bridge and its viewing platform, retrace your steps along the trail to return to the parking lot.
