Nairn Falls Hike

Monday we did a day trip to Nairn Falls, a few kilometers north of Whistler Village. To get to Nairn Falls you take a short, well maintained trail from a parking lot at a large campground.  The cloudy pale Green River flows frothy along the path to the falls.  The glacier melt water is icy and swift along the route.  Many cairns have been built by visitors along the way.  

The falls is several cascades through narrow rock walls and tunnels.  The water was low enough for us to see the water flowing through the tunnel. 

Later we tried two hikes, one along the Green River that was supposed to go to a swimming hole which we never found.  The other that was 2.2 K to 1 Mile lake.  The 1 Mile Lake hike was up hill most of the way and ended up at a lake next to Highway 99 at Pemberton.   The path was along a ridgeline next the highway,.  When we realized it didn't lead to a pristine mountain lake, we turned back.
