Comments, Notes: I took some marker pics to show location. location of pipeline you walk under 43.226409, -77.617805. Continue walking till you reach this point N43.222409 W77.619089 where you will see the path that is on your left and follow that to the viewing platform. From the point of the pipeline and the formal trail turnoff you will see several points where folks have taken short cut to get down below. I feel you should keep to the main trails for all safety reasons.
