Siffleur Falls, Hwy 11, Abraham Lake ,Alberta Canada

SIFFLEUR FALLS TRAIL, DAVID THOMPSON COUNTRY Just beyond the gates of Banff and Jasper National Parks is a beautiful natural area known as Nordegg. This region is well worth a visit for its fantastic hiking, camping, and waterfalls. One hike in particular, to the thundering Siffleur Falls, is worth a day trip to Nordegg all in itself. Siffleur Falls Trail is a scenic hike in David Thompson Country that features waterfalls, Alberta’s longest pedestrian-only suspension bridge, and a beautiful boardwalk. Siffleur Falls Route Description The first part of the trail is quite flat. Cross two bridges – including a cool suspension bridge – and long boardwalk, then gradually gain elevation as you hike through the forest. Soon, you come to the edge of a massive gorge and powerful falls. Keep away from the canyon’s edge and stay behind viewing platforms and railings as there’s a huge drop-off with rushing water below. If you’d like to hike further, there are two more sets of falls. The second set of falls is 2.5 km past the first set, and the third set is hard to find due to a landslide, so I wouldn’t recommend it at this time. CAUTION!!!! Overall, Siffleur Falls is a must-see hike. However, PLEASE use extreme caution, and keep children nearby and pets on a leash at all times. Many hikers have lost their lives on this trail because of a lack of caution or trying to save a pet. Nearing the canyon and gorges it is easy to get too close to what looks rather unassuming, but one misstep and tragedy can strike, as the various memorials on this hike can attest to.
