Description

Naturaland Trust Trail is a rugged day-hike from the top of Caesar's Head through a cove forest, looping around to cross Raven Cliff Falls on a swinging footbridge. The Naturaland Trust Trail and its access trails make almost a complete circle from the summit of Caesar's Head, along the way passing beneath a rock formation called the Cathedral and over a bridge across roaring Raven Cliff Falls.

Hard to research, so here is BC site #D3, no fires, pet friendly, water access is behind me down a very steep embankment not easy after a long hike, easier if gotten before getting to camp. Closes to Moonshine and Confusion Falls trail to enjoy longer.

Alternate access to Moonshine and Confusion Falls by crossing Matthews Creek using Asbury Trail across private camp land that allows seasonal access to Asbury trail currently. Also, easy spot for water before the campsites with water more of challenge.

The Cathedral's colossal cliffs are truly a sight to see.

Hard to research, so here is BC site #D1, no fires, pet friendly, some view, water access is more limited, small creek crossing before camp coming up hill or water down a slab before that, easier if gotten before camp. Close to Pinnacle Pass TrailHead.
