Athabasca Falls

Athabasca Falls is a spectacular, thunderous cascade where powerful glacial waters cut through hard rock to form steep, sculpted canyon walls. A network of short, well-maintained paths and viewing platforms puts dramatic angles and photo opportunities just steps from the parking area.

The falls are an ideal stop on the Icefields Parkway for those heading between Jasper and the Columbia Icefield; accessibility makes it suitable for all ages. Seasonal light and mist often produce rainbows, adding to the visual drama.
