    This is one of the most accessible waterfalls in whole Rocky Mountain National Park. Therefore, it is also one of the most popular ones. To get to Alberta Falls start at the Bear Lake Trailhead and follow the signs south for Glacier Gorge and Alberta Falls. The falls are approximately .8 miles down the trail from the parking area. The difficulty of this hike is medium.

      Along with Bear Lake, this waterfall is one of the most visited natural sites in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is therefore a must-have.

        You should come early if you don't want to queue for a photo.
