Troll Falls, Marmot Falls

Slow and Steady Hikers
**Troll Falls and Marmot Falls**, relaxed pace

This is a popular trip to a number of beautiful waterfalls located in Kananaskis Valley. After hiking to Troll Falls, we will continue up to Marmot Falls and will see a total of four waterfalls during the trip. On the way back, we will use the Hay Meadows Trail, where we will visit the site of the Golden Eagles count. (This group monitors the flight of golden eagles during the spring and fall as they migrate.)

The pace will be relaxed and will allow plenty of time to enjoy the falls and take photos. The trip will be about 6 km round trip with an elevation gain of about 100 meters. The group size will be limited to eight people. Everyone needs to hike together as a group.
