Towards the end of June, we spent some time admiring the beauty of Elbow Falls.

This is the perfect spot if you’re looking for picturesque scenery and short, family-friendly hikes in Kananaskis. You can reach the looped route to the falls from paved walkways, and though there are some stairs, they are easily accessible.

Other trails are narrow and unpaved, and families with strollers might struggle to navigate the wild tree roots. We took one of these paths to explore the forest, climbing along the hill to the crashing crescendo of the waterfall.

But if unpaved trails aren’t your thing, don’t be discouraged! Other hiking trails and secluded picnic spots are only a stone’s throw away from Elbow Falls.

Until next time!
