Numa Falls
A waterfall where the Vermilion River tumbles through a limestone canyon, viewed from a small bridge beside the road over turbulent turquoise water.
Numa Falls sits right beside Highway 93. The river plunges between smooth limestone worn round by the current, forming a short, powerful waterfall and deep pools. Park and walk for a minute or two to reach the footbridge for the view. It is one of the easiest scenic stops in Kootenay National Park and the starting point of the Numa Creek Trail. A Parks Canada pass is required. Stay behind the railings, as the rocks are slippery. Numa Falls is often combined with the Paint Pots and Marble Canyon for a half-day trip.
