Tucked away near Castle Mountain along Highway 1A, Silverton Falls is a quiet, underrated waterfall that offers a quick but rewarding hike. This 2.3 km round-trip trail is far less crowded than nearby Johnston Canyon, making it a great alternative for those looking for a peaceful nature escape.

The short but moderately steep trail winds through the forest before reaching a scenic overlook of Silverton Falls cascading down a rocky cliffside. Unlike some seasonal hikes, Silverton Falls can be visited year-round, offering a beautiful frozen waterfall scene in winter—just be sure to bring traction devices for icy sections.

With minimal effort required and stunning views in any season, this hidden gem is perfect for a short adventure or a quick stop while exploring the Bow Valley Parkway.
