Message from Jana & Matej

Beautiful 5 km out and back easy trail leading to the largest waterfall in Kicking Horse river flowing from the Wapta Icefield which is truly powerful. We like to call it the rainbow waterfall as you can spot one here really often.

This trail is accessible year round and it's really beautiful in the winter when the waterfalls freeze over. Just make sure to bring microspikes or crampons. You will also need to add an extra 2 km each way (makes it around 9 km hike total) as the road leading to a summer parking lot is not cleared from snow, so you have to park your car further than in the summer.
