Panther Falls, Icefields Parkway, Banff National Park, AB
A short hike made slightly more difficult by the remaining snow in the trail on 5/15, mile long out and back descends from where the parking lot to the falls along a steep ridgeline. Views of bridal veil falls may be seen across the valley, and later in the year a path to them may be accessible.
Panther Falls drops down while the creeksides remain partially snowbound. This fall may create a good snowcone structure in winter based on some of the snow chunks I saw laying around.
The trail passes under a fallen log amid some boulders while bridal veil falls may be seen through a gap in the trees across the valley.
Same view of the falls as the main image, but this time with me being blinded by the blazing sun in the foregound.
