										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been hiking of the Trans Canada Trail lately. Christie Falls is along the trail just north of Ladysmith. I hiked out there last year but never got the chance to post the photos. Over the next 2 weeks I&#8217;ll be posting of the Great Trail (Trans Canada Trail).</p>



<p>For now, here&#8217;s Christie Falls from September 2013.</p>



<p><a href="/blog/christie-falls">Directions to Christie Falls</a>.</p>

<p>Christie Falls is a great little trail to get outside and see a beautiful set of falls on a mostly sunny day. The forecast called for rain and it threatened all day, even going so far as sending a couple drops our way. We never saw more than a few. The warm sun kept them at bay while we explored the falls.</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2863.jpg" alt="IMG_2863.jpg">



<p>The first gate was open when we went on a Saturday. There weren&#8217;t any posted hours aside from the sign on the gate about it being closed during extreme fire risk.</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2862.jpg" alt="IMG_2862.jpg">



<p>The smaller second gate on the right.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2711.jpg" alt="IMG_2711.jpg">



<p>For a deactivated logging road is was actually pretty nice. I&#8217;m assuming it gets maintained because of the Trans Canada trail and the fish hatchery at the end of the road.&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2747.jpg" alt="IMG_2747.jpg">



<p>Follow the fish hatchery signs.&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2860.jpg" alt="IMG_2860.jpg">



<p>There&#8217;s not much signage on the road for the Trans Canada Trail before the bridge. This section connects to the <a href="/blog/hike-in-nanaimo-haslam-creek-trail">Haslam Creek Suspension Bridge trail</a>.</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2857.jpg" alt="IMG_2857.jpg">



<p>The fish hatchery.&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2856.jpg" alt="IMG_2856.jpg">



<p>Across from the fish hatchery a big clearing leads up to the single track trail leading to the falls.&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2855.jpg" alt="IMG_2855.jpg">



<p>Small trails up into the single track on the side or end of the clear area.</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2749.jpg" alt="IMG_2749.jpg">



<p>It&#8217;s not flat any more. The single track leads up into the woods beside the stream.&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2751.jpg" alt="IMG_2751.jpg">



<p>The trail sticks close to the stream, you can see out over the stream at a few points.&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2752.jpg" alt="IMG_2752.jpg">



<p>You can actually see the stream at a few points.&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2758.jpg" alt="IMG_2758.jpg">



<p>Not quite jungle but nice single track to walk through.&nbsp;</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2841.jpg" alt="IMG_2841.jpg">



<p>A slippery log bridge. The stream wasn&#8217;t flowing through this section so we just walked through the stream bed. The stream must split above Christie Falls because this section was dry but Christie was flowing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Christie Falls.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>There was a nice pool below the falls. Not enough to swim in but plenty for a nice picture.</p>



<img decoding="async" src="https://packandtrail.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/IMG_2819.jpg" alt="IMG_2819.jpg">



<p>Logs and well placed rock in front of the falls made great stadium seating.&nbsp;**<a href="/blog/christie-falls">Get directions to Christie Falls</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The post <a href="https://packandtrail.com/blog/wandering-to-christie-falls/">Wandering to Christie Falls</a> first appeared on <a href="https://packandtrail.com">Pack & Trail</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
