Laughing Falls is often though of as the half way point to Twin Falls along the Yoho Valley trail, but it really is a destination in itself. The Little Yoho River squeezes out of a slot gorge no more than 5 meters wide and bursts outwards in a furious roar. The spray ejected upwards keeps mosses growing on the slopes next to the falls year round. If you plan to hike all the way to Twin Falls, but find yourself tired after the short hill section on the valley trail, consider this as a stopping point instead, you won't be disappointed. Backcountry camping can be found just downstream of the falls.

Located within Yoho National Park. From Highway 1 in Field, exit onto the Yoho Valley Road, just west of where the Highway starts to climb to Kicking Horse Pass. Follow the Yoho Valley Road to it's end at Takakkaw Falls, then begin hiking along the Yoho Valley Trail. You'll pass through a walk-in campground at the beginning, and in 4.2 kilometers, reach a bridge over the Little Yoho River, with Laughing Falls just upstream.

The falls produce a heavy spray, but I don't recall it being much of a problem, as it's all directed towards the opposite bank of the river. The falls are best lit in the morning, or late afternoon.
