Livingstone Falls Alberta Recreational Area.

The Livingstone Falls campground is located on gravel range road 42A in the Highwood area 41.8km south of the Kananaskis Trail highway. Etherington Creek and  Cataract Creek Campgrounds are located approximately 28km before Livingstone Falls. This campground offers 22 campsites for both tents and larger RV's, dry toilets, water pumps, camp kitchen, garbage bins, picnic tables and fire pits. Firewood is available here for sale. The Livingstone River runs alongside the campground with the small Falls nearby. Unfortunately the access to this campground is by a dusty gravel 41.8km road. I'm sure this is why you will find very few people here, maybe a plus for others. You will pass a few large Inukshuks on the way, these were placed by local oil companies operating in the area. There is some interesting local geology here. The Livingstone River runs inside a long smooth rock face. This rock face has been eroded to a smooth finish. You'll see a small sample for geological study that has been cut away by a rock saw, see picture below. The numerous pools below the falls are beautiful and would make great swimming holes on hot summer days. Deer, Elk and Bighorn Sheep are all around this area. Night skies here are ink black (#1 on the Bortle Scale). There is a gas station located at the Kananaskis Trail highway turn off that has a small store, fuel, sani dump and water hose. This is bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly.
