Being a 1km hike with 41 meters elevation gain, this one is fairly simple for most hikers. Walk along the riverbank, then head up through the trees and walk across the open field with amazing mountain views and of course the waterfall!
A toddler friendly hike in Alberta Canada. My 3 year old did this trail completely unassisted.
Bighorn Falls is sometimes referred to as Lower Bighorn Falls, I'll have to go see if I can find the upper ones another time.
Bighorn Falls is worth the drive to Ya Ha Tinda! It's a dusty gravel road through the PLUZ to this destination. But the road in was in fairly good shape with minimal potholes and phenomenal views. Keep an eye out for the wild horses!

Ya Ha Tinda bumps right up to the border of Banff National Park on the north east side. You're treated with amazing mountain views and easy open fields

I'm not sure exactly how tall Bighorn Falls are, but it's a big one! Spring and early summer are fantastic times to visit this area of Alberta

Eventually on this short 1km hike, you pop up above the canyon, making for a super easy hike from there with views above the waterfall

"In 1917 Rocky Mountain Park (now Banff) took over the ranch and it became the warden district headquarters for breeding and training mountain horses."

There is a useful map at the Bighorn Day-Use Area before heading out on the trails. There is no cell phone service in this area, so either download your maps from a hiking app, or take a photo of this one before taking off. You can go far beyond...

So a lot of times, they will purposely set areas on fire. This helps make more of a controlled burn, opposed to an out of control wildfire.

The Bighorn Falls Day-Use Area has a small parking lot as well as a bench and a picnic table. Amazing views just from the parking lot.

Walking along the riverbed was too much of a temptation for little seeker. She had to splash around a bit in the cold mountain water

If you were to walk the riverbed to the falls, there is a nice pool at the base. The water was quite high so we took the high route above the waterfall

You are in the backcountry here with rugged landscape and many different wild animals. Be sure to have your bear spray just in case

It's always amazing to see animal trails that go up and down such an intense incline.

I'm always happiest out in nature and near a waterfall! This was a great day out adventuring in central Alberta Canada

Trying to identify this plant, and I'm pretty sure it's wild licorice! A pretty little plant

Some very impressive views and waterfalling. Who is leading who. Looks like Little Seeker is starting to take the lead. LOL. -
Greg Girard She tells me "I'm a bit of an expert" now. She is definitely starting to lead the way and pick the trails
