Numa Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Numa Falls are part of Numa Creek, a tributary feeding into the Vermilion River, with fast‑flowing meltwater. These falls are right next to the parking area, so it's easy to see without going deep into the backcountry. The parking area also has picnic benches, trash cans, and a pit toilet.

Bridge over Vermilion River

Highlight • Viewpoint

This modern bridge takes visitors over the Vermilion River, letting folks peer down at the milky turquoise waters thundering through the canyon and cascading down. This is an easy stop off the Banff–Windermere Parkway, and the highway follows the Vermilion River valley for a considerable stretch. This is also the access point for the Numa Creek Trail, a great hiking trail that takes visitors up Numa Creek and toward Numa Pass.

Numa Creek Trail Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is another viewpoint of the falls as you climb past the pedestrian bridge toward this switchback. From here, the trail leaves the falls and follows the creek back into the mountains.
