Troll Falls: Kananaskis (Alberta)

Location: Troll Falls, Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada

Distance: 2.1 miles

Hike Type: Easy, Out-and-Back

Troll Falls is a waterfall that is dramatically falls over a half-bowl of rock. It is a very easy and well-maintained hike, and likely one of the most popular in the area so expect many people on the trail with you.

I do not recommend climbing to the back of the waterfall. The rockface is very slippery and the fall could be deadly.

This hike is also popular in winter.

Update: Since I was last on this hike, trail additions, including railings, have been added.

Located west of Claresholm, Bob Creek Wildland Provincial Park is a protected area that has rolling green hills, gorgeous wildflowers, and very few people in comparison to other parks.

Within it is a region called the Whaleback(named due to it's shape) which is a unique area.

"The Whaleback is considered one of the best representations of montane landscape, flora and fauna in Canada, with very high habitat diversity. Montane compromises less than 2% of the province’s land area and occurs only where warm Chinook winds blow away the snow cover for much of the winter. The Whaleback is in fact the largest undisturbed stretch of montane landscape in Canada, and its biodiversity has brought it national significance." Alberta Wilderness Association

The Bob Creek itself is a lazy trickle into a swamp, while the rest of the park is dramatic hilly grasslands.

Much of the land is marred by ATV use, but while it can make for some uneven trails, the ruts did not diminish the beauty of the area.

Notes:

It is an open area, but do keep watch for ATV’s and step off the path if one is coming your way.

There was a bin for maps, but it does not look like it has been filled for a very long time. It is available online.

No outhouses. If you have to go, stop at the Maycroft Provincial Recreation Area
