Canyon Wonders: Waiting for the Thaw

A waterfall is featured at the very end of the Heart Creek Trail, east of Canmore, Alberta in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. It is located approximately 4 km from the trail head. Before you encounter the waterfall, the trail follows the bottom of a canyon and nearly parallels the creek that the falls spill into. You cross seven footbridges along the way. These photographs were taken at the end of November making for snow-covered canyon walls and water falls crystalized into a sheet of ice. The creek itself, in most parts stills runs freely and as you approach the falls, the sounds of gushing water can still be heard.

This is the last post of three parts of my hike at Heart Creek.
