This is the first volume in the Stoked on Waterfalls book series about waterfalls in Alberta. Volume 1 aims to cover every waterfall in Alberta located within 500 meters (with a few longer exceptions) of any public road. There are 208 waterfalls described in this book that meet the criteria. This book is to be used as a guide to help you reach every waterfall as quickly and as safely as possible. Each waterfall has a driving description, hiking description, level of difficulty, GPS coordinates, colour photo, and detailed map showing how to reach the waterfall. My hope is that this book will inspire more people to get outside and enjoy the natural beauty the province of Alberta has to offer. Alberta has over 800 waterfalls I currently know about, and I look forward to documenting every waterfall and sharing this information with likeminded people who love getting outside and exploring in Alberta's amazing wilderness. Please look for the next volumes in my series as I continue to explore and chase waterfalls in Alberta! Please check out my website at stokedonwaterfalls.com for more information.
