퍼셀 산맥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 폭포

At the end of the Perry Creek Trail in East Kootenay, you reach Perry Creek Falls, where the creek drops over a rugged rock face into a narrow gorge. The viewpoint is set slightly back, so you’re looking across at the falls rather than right beside them, but you still get a clear view of the cascade and the surrounding forest. After following the creek the whole way, this feels like a natural turnaround point and the highlight of the hike.

This powerful and towering waterfall can only safely be viewed from afar, either as you look down at it from a canyon wall or from a sandy spot down river.

Just a short drive from Cranbrook, Moyie Falls is a hidden-gem tucked in B.C.’s East Kootenay region. You can reach the waterfall by a 1.4-mile out-and-back trail through forested slope alongside the Moyie River. The trail requires a river crossing (which can be impassable during high flows), and ends at a scenic viewpoint of the falls amid rocky canyon walls. In late summer or autumn, when water levels are lower, the falls are most accessible and photogenic. Sturdy footwear, layers, and care at the crossing make this a refreshing half-day hike with a rewarding finish.

This swinging bridge spans the width of Kootenai Falls, where the Kootenai River loses 300 feet of elevation over just a few hundred yards. The bridge offers good views of the falls and provides access to both banks of the river.

Kootenai Falls is the largest undammed falls in Montana and a sacred site to the Kootenai people. It is popular with anglers and kayakers and is a picturesque location to visit.
