Hiking access only from parking area. 1.5 km primitive trail, surrounded by mature jack pine and spruce, leads to an opening on the Nipekamew River where the cliffs can be observed from across the river. Erosion of the Nipekamew River exposed these giant sand pillars that were deposited over 120 million years ago. Erosion of the cliffs have made them extremely fragile.
