To get there you’ll want to turn right at the Kananaskis Village Turnoff, continue straight, then turn at the first right which will be a gravel road, according to Alltrails

It's heavily trafficked and well-marked so you can't miss it. 

The frozen waterfall is a sight to behold and it really pops on those sweet, bluebird days we all know and love. 

Winter isn't a four-month timeout, get the heck outside! 

Trust us, this one is a true beauty.
