World class skiing, decadent European style cuisine, ornamental cathedrals, peaceful island life…Canada is a patchwork of thriving cities and majestic wilderness. Montreal beckons travelers with its French charm and booming cultural landscape. In Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario is a vision of Frank Gehry architecture and national artistic treasures. The gleaming mountain ranges of Banff set a stunning backdrop for an exploration of the Canadian Rockies.

We parked in the parking lot at Parent Beach. Entry to the park was $12 per car (payable upon exiting). We found it very tricky to locate the trail that is used for biking to the caves and found ourselves on the wrong path. The path that we started on from the beach area is a narrow rocky path more suited to mountain biking. We finally got directions from some of the campers to get to the road with the “50” marker sign. We suggest that you look for the sign at the Parent parking lot that points you towards “Lusk Cave Trail”. (This is at the opposite end of the parking lot from the entry path to the beach). Follow that path and take the first right turn. This short trail exits at the road that runs within the park and through the campgrounds. Turn left and follow this road (marked “50”) all the way (shared with cars) until you hit a gravel path (also marked “50”). Go to the end of the trail to where it intersects with the trail number 54 (at a beautiful beach). It is probably a 30 minute bike ride and keep in mind that it is a little hilly. We locked up our bikes on a tree, as the bike rack provided was full. We then followed the markings for trail number 54 which takes you to the caves. It’s about a 1 km walk. We left our knapsack at the base of the entry to the climb to the caves. We took our valuables with us in secure waterproof bags. The walk through the caves takes about 15 minutes. You can exit halfway through. The first half is easier than the second half. The second half of the cave had water levels up to our neck with only a head space between the water and the top of the cave. We did use flashlights to illuminate the way. The kids wore life jackets which made them feel more secure. The second part of the cave has one high rock that you have to get down. Having said that, this was very doable with 8 year old children, with some assistance from the adults. It was about a 3 to 3 1/2 hour trip from start to finish including the biking, hiking and the caves. Some of our group went through the caves twice. The caves were a ton of fun and a very wonderful and unique adventure in a very beautiful park.

This was our Kaslo highlight. Be warned that the logging road going UP the mountain/hill is STEEP and in our VW golf doing it for the first time took about 45 mins going up. In total, give yourself at least 1 hour, 15 mins from Kaslo to the parking lot. Going down was much easier and smoother, I guess cuz of momentum? Come prepared for 4C temperatures and bring clothes that you don't mind getting muddy. Bring a change of shoes and socks cuz you will get your feet wet. We learned a lot about the history of the caves on this tour, and it was very professionally done. Excellent!

My family and I have done some caving in our time. We had a guide from Cycle Solutions names Tim take us, and it was great. We had a 7 and 8 year old and a wife who had a recently reconstructed knee and we were able to do it. Worth the trip and having a guide was even better.

We decided to take a day trip from Campbell River Summer of 2019 to the Upana Caves and boy was it an amazing trip. This was a fascinating set of caves off a dirt road. There is little parking and depending on how other visitors park it will be difficult. We will definitely be back with family as it is a must see.
