Siffleur Falls — Attraction in Alberta

The falls are situated at the end of the mark trail. From the parking lot there is a bit of a dirt path until you cross the bridge on to the nature reserve. From there it's about a 10 to 15 min walk on a wooden path way to the next part of the trail where you cross another bridge. Nice view on both bridges and it gets better as you progress towards the falls. You can find some lesser traveled trails along the river and it slowly gets steeper as you get closer. The main trail has a much steeper climb along a slightly rocky incline. Either way not too difficult but I needed to catch my breath at the top. From here the main path and side paths continue. The footing is very rooty and bumpy so may be a bit more difficult for those not wearing proper foot gear. There's a couple of railed look out points until you finally reach the falls. One can continue passed the falls long the river and find some nice little spots to sit and listen to the river however the trails are not marked and considered out of the falls marked zone. Worth the trip out for the couple of hours drive it took us to get there. Would go back to the area to see some of the other trails and...

Low effort. High reward. I would recommend this hike to anyone passing through the area. A short walk with minimal elevation gain takes you across two bridges, a boardwalk on the plain, and a great waterfall. Not to mention the amazing spot next to the falls where you can have a snack. The first falls are only a 45min walk. You can take the trail a little further (10min) and see another fun formation with raging water. The second and third set of falls are more of a hike. Be prepared for more effort. Commit to another 3 hours to get there and back to the first falls. Precarious ridge trails along the gorge, steep inclines, and forest paths. There is enough tree coverage to create shade for much of the hike. Some of the trail is not for the faint of heart, but the third set of falls is impressive as you can get right down to the riverbank. Total trip time from the parking lot and back was 5 1/2 hours (with a 30min lunch). Highly recommend the first waterfall. Super easy walk and...

Easy in and out trail. Gorge lookout before falls is awesome. Falls are small but mighty. This is a great hike. Carry bear spray. Keep dogs on leash.

Upper Falls - The trail past the main falls is more difficult. But worth the walk for the views. Not suited for elderly, out of shape or young children as it’s steep, has tricky traverses across steep, rooted, slopes and canyon edge. Hiking poles recommended. If you make it to the rock wash DO NOT go turn left on the edge of this creek bed. Stay right / straight then drop down through the bush (if it looks bad you’re in the right place) you will see the trail above the creek bed on the opposite side. You have to climb around and over water stream and slippery rock. Continue on trail for another 2 klm or so up the Siffleur River Canyon. At the end there is a very steep muddy drop off down to the rivers edge and another small...
