Hummingbird Falls is one of those rare Alberta waterfall spots where you get big scenery without a long hike. Located off the Forestry Trunk Road near the Hummingbird staging area, this hidden gem is reached by a very short walk through the trees before opening up to rushing turquoise water, massive rock formations, and beautiful mountain views.

The best part? You do not need to be an experienced hiker to enjoy it. Most of the adventure is in the drive and exploring around the falls themselves. There are rocky and uneven areas near the water, so good footwear is still a smart idea, but the reward comes quickly. It is an easy stop for families, photographers, road trippers, and anyone looking for a scenic Alberta waterfall without a full day hike.

Hummingbird Falls is also located fairly close to Ram Falls, making it an awesome double waterfall adventure in Alberta’s David Thompson Country. Pairing the two together makes for an unforgettable day of backroad exploring, mountain scenery, and waterfall chasing along the Forestry Trunk Road.
