The falls, in the northern half of Yoho park, drop 833 ft -- making it one of the highest waterfalls in Canada. The falls are spectacular in early summer, when melting snow and ice provide ample runoff.

I went twice. Once with fellow adult friends and again with my daughter and my young grandchildren. Photos cannot capture the depth of this waterfall. Five levels...and the height is phenomenal. The spray coming off and down into the river continually changes the surrounding view. The large boulder slide directly to the west of Takkakaw Falls is also a sight to behold. Climbing to the base of the fall is exhilarating and hiking nearby trails offers view after view after view of Takkakaw and many other beautiful sites in YOHO. Picnic tables along the banks the Kicking Horse River at the trailhead make for a perfect spot to enjoy a meal while your eyes feast on this spectacular waterfall.

Careful or you'll miss this spot, just outside Kaslo. Well worth a visit to some very pretty falls and a nice quiet beach for a picnic, perhaps, or just sunbathe on the side of the lake

Park at the Fernie Visitor Centre and you will find the trailhead easily. There are also pathways behind Canadian Tire to bike or run to the trailhead. We recently hiked this with our eight year old daughter. Slow incline with a variety of different scenery along the way, including an ancient bathtub, meadow, giant hollow tree, magical forest, raging river and thundering falls at the end. There is a wooden red fairy toadstool at the falls for donations so remember to bring some coins (especially magical for kids). Remember you are heading for the “Fairy Creek Falls” as opposed to the “Fairy Creek Trail” which continues up the mountain. Plan for about a two hour easy hike (return) to leave plenty of time to smell the flowers. Breathtaking views! This would also be a great trail run too. We will definitely go again!

Definitely check out Moses Falls. 10 minute hike (or walk) to the falls. Keep walking down the path as there is 2 sets of falls. Spectacular falls right off the side of the road.

A must visit place in the glacier national park . The hike is peculiar and unlike any other trail in the region .. it’s too steep and less you to the bottom of the mountain in a very short span of time.

When traveling between Alberta and BC take a break in Eagle Pass. Park awhile and stroll the boardwalks through majestic forests… right from the highway-side pull-thru parking spots perfect for RV'ers. Experience the Suspension Bridge to get close to the falls; then make time to warm-up in the hot mineral-rich pools. You can enjoy the amenities for an hour; or choose to stay at this resort on Eagle River for an extended time. We offer a wide array of accommodation choices from simple tent sites… to a luxury 3-bedroom executive suite close to the waterfalls.

We hiked to the falls and across the suspension bridge in the morning and in the afternoon when it started to rain we hit the hot pools !! Can’t say I’ve ever had more fun on a rainy day! Cute little gift shop and very friendly staff :)
