Super beautiful hiking through the canyon to the lower and upper waterfalls. One of the main attractions in the Banff National Park and therefore very crowded. The paths are well developed and the slopes moderate.

Hiking

Depending on the number of visitors you have to plan up to 1km from the parking lot to the canyon.

Waiting time is expected at the Upper Falls. We stood about 20 minutes, when we left the queue was twice as long.
