Elbow Falls is a small set of waterfalls along the Elbow River, west of the hamlet of Bragg Creek within Kananaskis Improvement District, Alberta. They are located along Highway 66, west of the Bragg Creek turnoff on Highway 22. In the dry season, the falls reach a height of , while in June, during high discharges, the river fills up and the waterfall is only high. A day use area (i.e. picnics) is maintained at the falls site, and also serves as the start/finish of a short long hiking trail.〔Hike Alberta - (Elbow Falls Trail ) 〕 Overnight camping is available at several nearby campgrounds.〔(Elbow Valley Campgrounds - Elbow River Valley - Stairway to the Mountains )〕 After the 2013 Alberta floods, the day use area was destroyed. The Elbow River overflowed its banks and destroyed all of the picnicking area and most of the paved trails. The riverbed itself also suffered major destruction, now being replaced by mounds of rock, rather than soil and trees. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elbow Falls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
