Natural Bridge

Natural Bridge is an attraction that I'm deeming to be a waterfall attraction because the Kicking Horse River actually disappears before re-emerging through the natural span. However, the span kind of seems more like rocks being wedged together depending on the vantage point. We were able to hear the roar of the disappearing water churning and ejecting beneath the bridge to further reinforce my move in making this a legitimate waterfall.

From the car park, there's a real short walk going on a bridge over the Kicking Horse River providing frontal views of the attraction backed by scenic mountains when the weather's fair (see photo above). Beyond the bridge, the short walking path curls left towards a viewing deck where more angled views of the natural span could be seen with different mountains serving as the backdrop.

We were very lucky that we happened to show up just when the bad weather finally cleared up to the point that we could see the river's powdery blue color as well as the scenic snowy mountains backing the whole scene.

Directions: The car park is a little over 2km from the Emerald Lake turnoff deviating from Hwy 1. For details on getting to this turnoff from Lake Louise, see the Hamilton Falls page.
