Haven’t gone hiking in a while because of your little ones? Guess what…! There are hikes out there that you can do with the entire family.
Cat Creek Falls trail is one of those easy hikes near Calgary that does not have a lot of inclinations or any difficult climbing.
I’ll drop the pin location below to make it easier for you to navigate. Just click/tap the link and you can be on the way to this amazing waterfall hike.
This pin location will take you to the parking lot or what they call as a Day Use Area. This Day Use Area has toilets and picnic benches for convenience. Freshen up here, have a nice snack/ breakfast and load up for the hike. Bit that you need a lot of energy for hike but come on, you’re on an outing. Make the most out of it! 😄
Once you’re all set to start the hike, head towards the highway and cross it. There is a nice pedestrian crossing made on the highway for easy and safe crossing.
Now that you’re on the trail, continue to enjoy the scenic views, soak in Nature and smell the woods. There are several little streams of water you’ll pass by as you progress up towards the falls. These little streams, the birds, the trees and everything around create a mind relaxing rhythm that makes you forget all the ups and downs in life and releases all the stress. It’s a wonderful feeling.
After about a kilometer an a half, you’ll finally reach the first waterfall. If you’re a little adventurous, there’s a second waterfall which needs a little climbing. I have shown both waterfalls in the video posted above. Overall a nice 1 day hike.
