Itinerary description

The Iceline Trail is without a doubt one of the most spectacular trails in the Canadian Rockies. This path runs in close proximity to numerous glaciers, mountain peaks and one of the highest waterfalls in the country.
If you don't want to do the loop, I recommend to take the pass from the Trail Head (Parking lot) towards the water falls.

Takakkaw Falls

Die Takakkaw Falls sind mit 254m Fallhöhe mit die höchsten Wasserfälle in Kanada. Takakkaw bedeutet in der Cree-Sprache soviel wie "es ist wundervoll". Gespeist werden die Fälle vom schmelzenden Eis des darüber liegenden Daly Gletscher, welcher wiederum vom Waputik Icefield gespeist wird. Besucht werden können die Fälle beispielsweise auf dem in der Nähe beginnenden Icefield Trail.
