Join our out-of-town visitors from Atlanta, Maryland, Toronto and Edmonton for this event!
Distance: 16.6km Elevation: 280m This popular trail leads to viewpoints of four waterfalls. The first two, Angel's Staircase and Point Lace Falls, both at kilometer 2.7 are small intimate cascades. Laughing Falls at km 4.8 is an impressive single plume with lots of volume. The last one, Twin Falls, viewed from Twin Falls Chalet, is a spectacular double-header, plunging 80 meters off a limestone cliff. Just so you know, the entire way to Twin Falls is forested. Note that this trip requires driving up the steep/bumpy road to Takkakaw Falls. Photos: | |||||||
