Before we begin, I would like some feedback from my readers. This post will feature the 5th and 6th waterfalls in the waterfall-mini-series. I still have a few more waterfalls that I can talk about / share, but are you guys tired of seeing all these waterfalls? I have one last waterfall that I will definitely want to post about to end the series, but do you guys want to first empty my waterfall bag before ending this mini-series? Or should I just go to "the last one" next week?

This week we continue our waterfall mini-series, but I present to you two waterfalls, because I don't have much photos of the first one due to the trail being super short. So I decided to include one more waterfall, so the post can have the usual number of photos. We visited both of these waterfalls during our September 2021 road trip.

I would like to first talk about Kay Falls, its trailhead located just under 11km east of the Last Spike monument, in BC, Canada. The trailhead is right next to the highway without a proper parking lot; is quite hidden and easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The trail is very short and relatively flat, as you can reach the falls from the trailhead with less than 5 minute walk. After a very short walk on the trail, we were greeted with a small and pretty waterfall that we could walk very close to. After taking some photos we headed back out the same trail and continued our road trip.

We visited Bear Creek Falls the next morning after staying the night a Revelstoke. This waterfall is located in Glacier National Park, BC, quite close to the provincial border between BC and Alberta. The trailhead is accessed by driving onto a small access road next to Highway 1, and there was a decent sized parking lot at the end of the access road. The hike to Bear Creek Falls is longer than Kay Falls, but still quite short. With minimal elevation gain and 1.3km total out-and-back distance, we reached the falls in about 10 minutes. Bear Creek Falls has a much larger amount of water falling down compared to Kay Falls, as it is part of the flow of Connaught Creek.

Well maintained trail. The trail also follows next to Connaught Creek.
