When is the best time to visit Nairn Falls
Where is Nairn Falls
Nairn Falls is located in Nairn Falls Provincial Park, a 20 minute drive north of Whistler, and only 5 minutes from the centre of Pemberton. If traffic is feeling friendly it will only take you 2 hours to get there from Vancouver.
There are no sneaky gravel roads to wind through to find the start of this trail head, it is located right next to the highway.
When is the Best Time to Visit Nairn Falls
It all depends on that British Columbian weather, you can visit the falls all year round as it is only a short hike, however I recommend visiting between May – October. This is when the temperature has started to rise and the snowfall is only seen on the mountain tops.
Our trip to Nairn Falls was just as the summer heat arrived and all the snow from the mountain peaks melted at a crazy rate so the water was pumping through the falls. Who doesn’t love a fast flowing waterfall?!
