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.
