Wapta FallsWapta Falls is smaller than Takakkaw but still impressive standing at 98 feet high. It is named after the icefield that feeds both the Wapta Falls and Takakkaw. It is an easy hike, allowing for stunning views of the near-frozen falls. The 2.4 km trail to the falls is well-travelled. This is a fairly easy hike with a little more challenge at the very end. It’s unique to see the falls from above and then hike down to the base. It allows you to appreciate the awesomeness of the falls from all angles. The water has so much power at the base of the falls. The noise is intense as the water crashes into the rock wall in front of it, sending a mist into the air and making it rain on a clear mountain day. On a hot day, the cool mist feels most welcome. cool mist. But if you hang for extended photos, you might want to bring a raincoat. Duration: 4.6 km (2.9 miles) round trip
