Title: Elbow Falls.
Post by: Aspirated on September 29, 2009, 11:08:24 AM

I have been at Elbow falls and seen OTR vehicles on the other side, is there a open trail to get to the falls from the non highway side through Maclean area? if so does anyone know the name of the trail and the difficulty?

trail in is easy.  narrow at parts but doable.
no OHVs to the falls. its a whopping 5 minute hike.

Mclean map is here: http://www.srd.gov.ab.ca/fieldoffices/southernrockies/pdf/McLeanCreek_Trails_kiosk21x39_Revised080710Watermark.pdf

As noted on the map...you can drive to the bottom of the hill next to the river, but must walk from there.  A few hundred meters or so.
