Hiking in the Troll Falls: trails, map and practical info

Great beginner hike that took us about 1 hour and 20 minutes round trip. The path is wide and well-maintained, perfect for those new to hiking. We explored all three waterfalls - Troll Falls, Marmot Falls, and Upper Falls. The upper section gets steeper and more challenging but the views are incredible. Remember to stay on designated trails as there are rockfall hazards near the main falls.

Easy and accessible trail that's perfect for introducing kids to hiking. The path is wide enough for comfortable walking and the waterfalls at the end are spectacular. We spent extra time exploring the upper section which offers even better views. The 200 m elevation gain is very gradual. Conservation pass required but the natural beauty makes it worthwhile.

Amazing winter hike! The frozen waterfalls create incredible ice formations that are perfect for photography. Trail conditions were good despite some icy patches - proper footwear is essential. We loved exploring behind the frozen Marmot Falls. The 200m elevation gain through the forested trail provides just enough challenge without being strenuous. A must-do winter activity in Kananaskis!

Nice easy walk but extremely crowded during peak times. The 2.8km distance is accurate and the minimal elevation makes it accessible for most fitness levels. The waterfall is pretty but smaller than expected. We tried the loop via Hay Meadow Trail which offered better views of the Kananaskis River and surrounding mountains. Paid parking was a bit frustrating but understandable given the popularity.

Did this hike in winter and it was magical! The frozen waterfalls are incredible, especially being able to stand behind the frozen Marmot Falls for photos. However, ice grips or crampons are absolutely essential - the trail gets very icy and slippery. The 1.4km walk to the main falls is manageable for most fitness levels. Beautiful winter wonderland experience.
