A nice little stop before heading to the Skywalk. It’s right off the road, so it’s an easy detour. The waterfall isn’t huge, but it’s really pretty and worth a quick visit. Great spot for a photo or just to enjoy the sound of the water for a bit.

Very good waterfall and excellent views! You can climb up easily and get closer to the falls with stunning views and scenery!! A little ignored point but worth experiencing on the way to Jasper or on the return journey!!!

5 because you can park across the road and see it so easily. Beautiful in spring when it's flowing, summer when it's trickling, or winter when it's frozen. If you feel more adventurous and want to stretch your legs, walk up to the upper part. Washrooms at the parking lot too.
