Stelfox Falls

April 18, 2014

In April this impressive ice climbing waterfall is almost completely contrasted to the rocky wall that is Mount Stelfox.  To trained ice climbers this is known as Good Luck, Bad Dreams.  The impressive length of this drop and it's vertical depth is enough to get a reputation to follow the name.  In order to climb this sheet you would be best to attempt in January or February when the ice is thicker and wider. Access to the climb is found at the staging area for Corall Creek Canyon.

Stelfox Falls

August 3, 2013

This waterfall was a surprise for me as I was not expecting anything this early on my hike towards the Coral Creek Canyon (roughly 100 meters).  What also escapes me is whether this exists on a regular basis, or if it is only found due to the high water levels this summer.  The next time I go for a trip to this area (and I will!), I will have to investigate this small 2 meter fall.  As for now, I'm going to call this Stelfox Falls; named after the mountain it descends, as the creek goes unnamed.  If anyone has a specific name for this creek or waterfall, feel free to comment and let me know.

From what my quick analysis of the trail, it didn't seem that the water naturally falls over the road regularly enough to make an actual creek bed.  Though the creek was wide enough on this day to cause me to cross on a fallen tree.
