About This Waterfall
A signed spur leads to a forested viewpoint at the 2.4 km mark along the Yoho Valley Trail in Yoho National Park. If you begin to climb up hill along the main trail, you've missed the spur.Angels Staircase Falls is the first significant waterfall encountered along the Yoho Valley trail in Yoho National Park. A short spur trail branches off from the Yoho Valley trail and leads to a view from the banks of the Yoho River directly across from the mouth of the small stream. Because the stream is fed by lingering snow patches, expect it to run dry by the end of August, if not sooner. The overall height of the falls looks to be in the order of 1000 feet but it may just as easily be more or less - because its difficult to spot the bottom of the falls with all the trees in the foreground obstructing we really can't say for sure where it ends.
