Takakkaw Falls area.

Yes Takakaw falls near Field BC in Yoho national park. Absolutely stunning spot.

You could hike up to Twin Falls from Takaka Falls too. Bit more remote.

I was out by Mundare and son ma gun..... ducks , geese, all kinds waterfoul around over there.

If you want to camp beside nice waterfoul you go by Mundare...real nice Waterfoul around there.

Park @ the south gates to Highway 40, 6-7 km hike into Cat Creek falls. Maybe not the best choice if you aren't somewhat bear savvy.........:thinking-006:

Ribbon creek/falls, about 11km into falls, do a bit of a scramble with help from chains by the falls and camp above at the lake, pretty flat up the creek until you get to the falls so not too bad

Always Crescent Falls, west of Nordegg. None of those in the Park restrictions.

I always enjoyed the Waiporous Creek. A lot of people camp on the south side of the river, but if you park and walk upstream a bit you can get away from the crowds pretty easily. It's beautiful too.
