Eska Falls

We have seen pictures of Eska Falls, but have failed on two previous attempts to actually see the falls in person. A couple weeks ago we decided to give it another try. This was the first 4 wheeler ride of the year, all winter maintenance was done and a fresh oil change.

Eska Falls is located north of Sutton. We camped at slipper lake. In the previous attempts we got lost and stuck, but after looking at some maps, we felt that getting lost shouldn't be a problem. Getting stuck is another question. The lower part of the trail is rather tame and just an enjoyable ride. Once we crested over the lower ridge we immediately dropped into an area of mud. A side by side was stuck and being winched out, but we were able to pick a reasonable path and continue on. There were only a few more areas of mud and a couple of steep climbs before we crested the upper ridge and the falls were visible in the distance.

Here are some pictures of the weekend.
