Tips

October 26, 2025

Laughing Falls is a thundering waterfall with a mountain-energy vibe along the Little Yoho River. There are simple wooden bridges for river crossings, picnic benches, and backcountry camping, with bear bag hangs. A Parks Canada pass is required for entry, and a backcountry permit is required for camping.

Hiking

Very nice trail, past 3 waterfalls to the Twin Falls. The trail is well developed and easy to walk even in bad weather. Ensure sufficient drinking water, there is no way to replenish water on the way.

Here you come again very close to the waterfall. The visit is worthwhile in any case.
