💧 Takakkaw Falls – The roaring sound of water falling nearly 400 meters will stay with you forever. You can walk to its base, feel the mist on your face, and maybe catch a natural rainbow.

🌿 Wapta Falls – Tucked deep in the forest, this wide and powerful waterfall is a hidden gem on the Kicking Horse River. A peaceful trail leads you to its thundering base.
