Hi, I'm Karen! I was born in the mountains of northern BC (where the wild things are) and grew up granola. In 1997, I moved to Calgary to study Geography, and fell in love with the Rockies. Since 2013, Play Outside Guide has been sharing "everything you need to know to get outside and have fun!"

Tangle Falls is a beautiful stop on the Icefields

Tangle Falls is a beautiful stop on the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93), 97 km south of Jasper / 137 km north of Lake Louise. The 48-metre high falls are on the east side of the highway and the parking lot is on the west side. Use extreme caution if you choose to cross the highway for a closer look, and stay back from drop-offs.

For more beautiful waterfalls in southern Alberta, see our blog post: https://playoutsideguide.com/2021/12/southern-alberta-waterfall-walks-and-hikes/

Many years ago, an ESL student of mine in Japan said: "Waterfalls make me happy because minus eons." I had no idea what that meant at first, then realized she meant negative ions! DYK waterfalls produce negative ions which trigger the release of serotonin (the feel good chemical) in your brain? So if you feel happy around waterfalls, it's not just because the view is so dang pretty. 😉 What's your favorite waterfall?
