About Wapta Falls Main Trail
The Wapta Falls Main Trail is an enjoyable 4.8-kilometre return hike through old-growth forest, culminating at the broad and thunderous Wapta Falls. The trail is mostly flat with a steeper descent near the falls, where adventurous visitors can scramble to the river's edge for an up-close view. The sheer width and raw power of the falls make it a truly memorable Yoho experience.
