Way to Topham Suspension Bridge at Lake Abraham to Siffleur Falls. Siffleur Falls lies within the Kootenay Plains Ecological Reserve which is also home to a wide variety of wildlife and plant species.
The waterfall is created from the rapid flow of the Siffleur River, a tributary of the North Saskatchewan River – which is where your hike begins!
The hiking trail begins on the east side of Highway 11 at Siffleur Falls Staging Area Day Use Area. The trail is well-marked and easy to spot with the Topham Suspension Bridge near its start. From the bridge, you’re led toward a boardwalk on a scenic meadow, grassy and forested trails and up a slight incline as you follow the Siffleur River flowing through a deep canyon.
Continue along the trail to get closer to the falls tumbling down the Siffleur gorge after hiking a distance of approximately 4 km and take in the views from the Siffleur Falls viewpoint with guard-railed platforms.
If you are up to it, then continue for another 2.5 km to reach the second waterfalls (and rapids). Another 1.5 km hike will take to the third waterfall.
The hike takes about 3-4 hours and totals about 14 km out and back with an elevation gain of ~80 m.

Visiting the Reichstag dome once is not enough for me as I liked to capture images at different time of the day especially night photography is one of my favourites. At the center of the base of the dome is an exhibit of photographs and information about the Reichstag’s history. One of the more interesting moments from the Reichstag’s history is when it was set fire just before WWII to fuel the paranoia which eventually lead to the Nazi control of Germany. I stood at the mid level of its spiral ramp and shot this photo not only to show the centre stem of the structure but also the backlight glowing information panels of its history with visitors beside them.

Foliage is also beautiful. I personally find that the fall color under a sunny day is always lack of the mood "approach end of cycle and waiting a new beginning".... that kind of story telling. The brilliant is short and diminish comes quickly. Beside, a soft light come out from cloudy sky gives punch of its foliage coloring than sunny day.
