アルバータ周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

This is an upper perspective of the falls. You get a great view of the falls as you look down the Athabasca River, with a backdrop of towering peaks.

Mount Hoffman offers stunning panoramic views across the Ghost Public Land Use Zone. The moderately challenging trail climbs through forested slopes before opening onto rocky alpine terrain, where each step rewards you with ever-expanding vistas of valleys, foothills, and distant peaks. The summit is an ideal spot to pause, soak in the scenery, and appreciate the scale and rugged beauty of Alberta’s landscape.

Sheep River Falls is one of the highlights of Sheep River Provincial Park, known for its wide cascade framed by rugged cliffs and pine forest. The falls are easy to reach from the nearby parking area or a 3km hike. In spring and early summer, the river runs fast and powerful, while later in the season, calmer pools form below the falls.

Indian Oils Waterfalls tumble from a rocky gorge into clear turquoise pools. It’s a peaceful spot for a break or a picnic, especially in spring and early summer when the flow is strongest. The trail can be accessed via the Sheep Trail, and you can take a short hike from the highway or include it in a longer route that passes other waterfalls. From here, you can also connect to the trail leading to Mount Hoffman and other scenic hiking and biking routes.

A bit crowded but still a nice stop

I have done this at the end of July. While it is as everybody describes, easy to the lower falls and not super hard to the upper falls, it was extremely crowded and it felt more like cattle drive up there. I suggest do this very early in the morning or evening there is probably less traffic.

Have crampons for fall, winter and spring. Beautiful views, enjoy the trail.

Just off the Icefields Parkway, the Sunwapta River rushes through a gorge forming the impressive Sunwapta Falls. The river is a tributary to the mighty Athabasca River. If you are in for a ride, you can take your bike and ride along the Chaba Trail that leads along the Athasbasca River and to two backcountry campsites.
