Easy 1.5 mile Loop 300 ft elevation gain Hiked May 23, 2025

An extremely popular hike due to its ease and location north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway, this hike puts you right on top of the falls where you may wander along the top of the canyon and see the various water chutes. A short loop uses part of the Mt Sarbach trail to get a higher view. Both parking and the people can be a mess here, so plan accordingly.
