4.4 miles roundtrip (to falls only) Easy, 475 ft elevation gain
This trail starts by crossing the N Saskatchewan river over a large pedestrian bridge. From there you will continue upstream from where the Siffleur river ends up to the main waterfall area, passing through an expansive grassland and above the canyon carved by the river. Trail may be extended well beyond the falls, I turned it into a 9.4 mile total, which I’ll post some pics for tomorrow. This trail probably doesn’t need splitting, but I’m gonna do it anyways haha.
Siffleur falls roars its way down into the canyon.
A fraction of the overall falls can be seen from this upper viewpoint. The majority is diverted behind the rock in frame.
Looking along the deep trench walls at the end of the canyon as the Siffleur river continues on.
Also, if you take the trail east where it splits off going to the falls, you’ll come around again on the Kootenay Plain and eventually end up where there’s an old bridge that got washed away, and people camp RVs there on the other side of the N Sask river at Preacher’s Point, or at least they did once upon a time. I’ve mountain biked out that way, it’s a bit long for a day hike unless you hump it.
