You’ve got lots of time to try to get a second night at twin falls – lots of people cancel or their plans change so reservations open up. Keep an eye on cancellations or sign up for a cancellation notification service. This post explains how they work The Best Camping Cancellation Apps: Campnab vs. Schnerp
You can definitely skip the climb up the Whaleback and go directly to the base of twin falls – it’s a much easier hike but you’ll miss out on the incredible views of the whaleback.

We managed to snag one night at little yoho and I am debating what to do. We are moderate hikers but I am worried about doing the full whaleback and out in day 2, so we may opt for your “iceline only 2 day itinerary”. Would it be possible/easier if we skipped the whaleback, did the shortcut to laughing falls, then turned left at laughing falls and did an out and back to the base of twin falls (before passing back through laughing falls and finish the hike at Takakkaw falls? Would this be just as long/difficult as taking the whaleback? My reasoning behind this idea being that we skip the huge ascent on day 2 and still see the beautiful falls from the bottom. Let me know what you think please 🙂
