A guide-book to the Lake Louise region, including Paradise Valley . ^^Giant Steps Falls, a beautiful cascade or succession offalls, remarkable for the peculiar formation of the rocks, though of no great height or grandeur, is in many respectsunsurpassed for its size. They may be reached as follows:From the trail end near the moraine (if horses are taken, they should be sent down—1% miles—to footbridge at junc-tion of the two streams), near some table-like rocks coveredwith heaths and trees, or from any part of the upper valley, proceed northwestwards, crossing the low ridge and descend-ing to the fiats at base of the Mitre. Some large trees, ap-parently broken off by a strong wind made by a snow-slidefrom Mount Lefroy, are first passed. The meadows arecrossed, or rather skirted on the right, and the stream fol-lowed as it changes from a sluggish, meandering brook, hemmed in by clay banks, to a rapid torrent, flowing over abed of solid rock. On the right there is a most attractiveopen grove, with banks of heaths edging the almost level Page Twenty-four. GIANT STEPS FALLS stone pavement. The water glides for one-eighth mile insparkling ripples over the stone floor, ever falling againstthe left bank, and then forced back again by projectingpoints of rock. The peculiarly hard and homogeneous rock ispolished by former glacial action, the striations and groovesof which are clearly apparent on every side. In the after-noon sun, on a bright day, the gliding waters seem like astream of molten silver. Suddenly the torrent commencesa succession of leaps and falls over immense rectangularblocks of stone, and a succession of truly remarkable viewsare to be obtained from the banks as the water descends thesegiant steps of solid rock. The falls are at their best on hotdays and in afternoons when the glaciers are melting mostrapidly. A swampy meadow, swept clean of trees by a snow-slide, is crossed and the stream followed (one-half mile) tojunction of streams, where the trail is fo
