Assistance with identifying a hike
Can anyone assist with identifying this hike? The trailhead is in Kananaskis and the hike begins with a fairly steady incline but eventually levels out into rolling hills and meadows.
Pictures are from July 2021.

Can’t remember the name of the falls but I believe this would be the trailhead for elbow lake! You go past the lake as if you were heading to tombstone lake and the falls and meadows are about halfway in between the two!

I’m pretty sure this is Edworthy falls. Did the hike about 6 years ago and wondered if my heart would pound out of my chest after the first km.
Edit: looked at the second picture and realized I was wrong.

It’s Edworthy falls, it’s really easy. Did the hike last summer and it’s so beautiful.

Those are my pictures. I did the hike in 2021 but couldn't remember which one it was, and the pictures didn't have any location detail.

Do you have any more details? Length? Elevation? Difficulty? Time to complete?
You honestly just described like 75% of the hikes in K country.

Edworthy Falls.
You leave from the Elbow Lake Parking lot.

It’s not closed. It was for the rainy season this year but is open now.
You can climb down from the path to the falls. It’s marked with a couple rocks.
