So what did you do today?

Have you ever just had a day where you decide that you are going to tackle a mountain? No just me.

Old highway 93 in Alberta, Canada has 4 waterfalls on it that I know of. And today we decided to visit 3 of them.

The parking to get on old highway 93 aka wonder trail can be a little tricky and there really is only room for 4 vehicles there. The road to the parking area isn’t very long but is not in great condition. I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes impassable at some point.

This old highway has a lot of switchbacks and turns that I couldn’t imagine driving it in the old vehicles. No power steering, no rails and steep cliffs. Now there are trees growing up through the old road and it is a very beautiful and peaceful place. A must though is bear spray and whistles.

The first falls is the North Saskatchewan River Falls. Be careful it’s a long way down if you slip. The falls are located right across from the parking.

Old Wonder Falls is amazing. It’s huge and we hit it during spring run off so it was pounding. You could hear it way before you see it. Can be a little tricky getting to it but so worth it.

This is the one we were aiming for this trip and boy it didn’t disappoint. You get to the 3rd bridge and you can hear it but can’t see it. Now is the hard part. BUSH WACKING!!

There is no real trail we just knew the direction we needed to go. It was a lot of hard work but holy when you turn the corner and see Nigel. WOW There are no words to describe it. The overspray makes you feel like your getting rained on. Watch for slippery rocks and dirt crumbling away.

We figured that the whole hike was around 3.5 km. Love this time of year.
