Sulphur Gates Provincial Recreation Area — Attraction in Alberta

This review reflects both the camping experience as well as the hikes.

Sulphur Gates lookout is really pretty. Very quiet here on July 1 long weekend. Easy 300 meter hike.

The falls hike is 7km return. The trail is wide and used by horse riders as well. There are rolling hills to the falls with one scenic lookout right before turning off to the falls path.

There are other longer 20km+ hikes that I haven't done but look great. There are trails connecting Wilmore to Jasper from here.

The campground fees are $30, and there are no showers, not even potable water. The camp sites look new with new picnic tables, fresh gravel and fire pits. There is no privacy between campsites as it's more of a gravel parking lot. There appears to be additional camp sites near the Sulphur gates trailhead but it's not clear if it's day use only.

Definitely worth stopping for a night if you are ok with taking it slow down the gravel road to get there! There are no facilities for people but there was horse corrals and...

This has been on my bucket list for awhile, finally made it on July 14th. Beautiful area; we did the viewpoints and then hiked in to Eaton Falls. The hike wasn't too long or hard, though it was a very warm day so the falls were a needed reward. Some good views on the trail in though it's a bit up/down with a few rocky patches, but essentially a roadway. My son complained a bit on the way in but when we got to the falls he said it was "the most beautiful place he'd ever seen." Maybe a bit of an exaggeration but it was a...
