Awesome Alberta: Take some royalty-worthy pics at Castle Falls (PHOTOS)
The beauty of Castle Falls will make you social media royalty with some of the epic pictures and videos you can take.
This hidden gem is the perfect getaway if you are looking for a quiet and beautiful outdoor adventure. The falls are a crisp, clear blue, and a great spot if you are looking to cool off. Just be extra careful as the waters can get a little quick at times.
For your own safety, please make sure you are prepared before heading out on your next adventure. Information on how to prepare for your trip and stay safe while on your hike is available from Albertaparks.ca and AdventureSmart. Parks Canada visitor guidelines are available here. Always remember to leave no trace, pack out what you pack in, stick to designated trails, and refrain from feeding wildlife — and please note that irresponsibly-taken selfies (even if they look great for the ‘gram) can be fatal.

What’s there?
Once you make the drive over, you can park at the campground, grab your fishing gear — or bathing suit — and head over to the falls. If that isn’t your thing then you can chill on some of the smooth rocks or just take in all the amazing scenery.
