Majestic Waterfalls

This collection features prominent cascades across Banff National Park and the Icefields Parkway. Bow Falls provides a powerful, wide drop near the Banff townsite, while Johnston Canyon’s Upper Falls plunges 30 meters into a limestone gorge accessible via elevated catwalks. Further north, the Icefields Parkway hosts the multi-tiered Bridal Veil Falls and the 66-meter drop of Panther Falls. These sites showcase the region's glacial meltwater and unique geological formations, ranging from roadside viewpoints to forested trailheads.
