Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 52.533009, -117.645748 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Two waterfalls nestled in the forests of the Rocky Mountains, in the heart of Canada; although the place is close to the most important national parks, it is far from the main attractions and is located on the edge of the Icefields Parkway - an important local communication artery as well as one of the most beautiful scenic roads in the world - it is very rare to see animals on site, so it is a paradise for the landscaper and a good challenge for the naturalist!

Recommended equipment : The wide-angle lens is certainly the lens that will be used the most, but telephoto lenses will also allow you to have fun capturing the most disparate details or framing different from the classic postcard.

Best months : The Canadian Rockies are synonymous with cold, many roads and/or attractions are closed from October to May and with them most of the refueling points. These waterfalls have no barriers for access and can be visited throughout the year (while after the summer they close all services), but being reachable via a network of paths in the forest and being the pivotal points on walkways, the visit is strongly discouraged if the conditions are not more than good; Cold, snow and ice are certainly a danger to be taken into account, in addition to the possible possibility that, with fewer tourists and road traffic, some animals show up (bears, moose, wolves, deer... all small stuff to run away from in short)!

How to get there : They are one of the stops on the Icefields Parkway, between Jasper and Banff and/or the Yoho branch, the only way to get there.

Visits : The falls are free to access.

Notes : They are the only intermediate gas point on the road between Jasper and Lake Louise.
