Go to Hilton Falls area instead, there is such more to do and beauty. At Tews Falls, the falls are completely dry a sad sign of times, the hike is nice inside the forest hence, well, OK, and you are walking up to a point to see the train go by which will not be a great photo on your cell phone. Try one of the many many other options in the area, and look beyond the Tews hype. You'll be delighted. If you are a local, do go to Tews of course.
Great place. Short hike, mostly in a shade. Reservation during weekends required. However, if it’s not busy they will let you in. Yes, day pass is quite pricey for such a short time, but you can use it throughout the day on any other HCA locations. Waterfalls are in full during fall and spring.
Pretty but not easily visible, particularly if there hasn't been much rain. Spring melt time or after a good rain are the best times to see the water flowing. It's very busy with people on the weekends and you still need to get parking reservations which sucks. Be aware since authorities know this, and they ticket a lot. It's a short walk from the parking lot to the falls, but it's really worth the extra walk to the 5 star Dundas Peak overlook.
I am sure these falls would would have been much prettier if there was more water than when we visited in July. We noticed some people hiking at the bottom of the gorge but don't know how they reached there. I would have loved to try that. After completing the Dundas Lookout and visiting these falls, we wondered if it's worth it charging entrance fees in this dry time of the year when there is not much more to see. Luckily you can visit on weekdays for free, or you can try starting from the south eastern entrance near Cascades Park if you are fit enough to hike a longer distance and an ascending trail of 100+ meters in elevation.
This slim falls is called falls because some small amount of water in the form of a few individual strings falls from a considerable height into the gorge. The scene is soothing and exhilarating; however, unlike the Niagara falls, there is nothing much to glue anyone there for more than 5 minutes. Also, If one visits in summer, one hardly sees any water falling, for there is no water to fall. From the falls, the Dundas Peak is about 25 minute ascending walk on a scenic but a kind of dangerous trail. For most part, the trail is open to one side that leads to a valley there is no barricade to protect you, so the hikers must exercise extra caution while going up and down the trail. It does not take more than 1.5 to 2 hours to see and enjoy what the place has to offer to its visitors; nonetheless, the parking charges are exorbitant. $18/vehicle + $5/person + 0.13 tax is, definitely, unrasonable for this place.
wonderful place for walking. great views and place for photos. one of the Dundes Peak trail locations. no way down. in the autumn season, registration is required to enterVisited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYes
Cool hike which leads up to the main part of tews falls. You were able to go behind the waterfall and sit there, but I believe it is off limits now since it is dangerous.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Plenty of parking. There were porta-johns available. The falls are at the beginning of the trail. The scenery is not spectacular on the trail and there is no reason to go to the end except to get to the Dundas Peak Lookout. There are elevation changes on this trail Be very careful along the west trail as it travels right along the edge of the gorge. And, STAY ON THE TRAIL. There was a rescue while we were there because someone didn't stay on the trail. The trails like the other parks are marked with blue strips on the trees.
I was so glad that I chose to leave early in the morning to see the fall colours when it was cloudy. That’s the best time to see the colour vibrance. I wish there was a way to go down to bottom of the falls there is one but I was on a time limit and you have to look for the trail as it’s not recommended.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Views, waterfalls and hikes are amazing! But beware during winter that there are no washrooms and trails can be super icy and not maintained despite still charging over $15 for parking
