Paradise Valley & Giant Steps

Paradise Valley & Giant Steps, located near Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, offers a rewarding hike with stunning scenery and a refreshing waterfall finale. This trail invites visitors to walk through a broad alpine valley framed by Mount Temple and other dramatic peaks. In midsummer, the route becomes a natural garden, with colourful wildflowers lining the path and adding bursts of colour to the surrounding rock and forest. At the end of the valley, the Giant Steps waterfall tumbles over wide stone ledges, creating a striking backdrop for photos and a peaceful place to rest before the return hike.
