Sunwapta Falls

Sunwapta Falls offers dramatic views of forceful glacial waters cascading through a rugged canyon, with both upper and lower viewing areas close to the road. The short, easy trails to viewpoints make it a popular and quick stop en route between Jasper and the Icefields.

In winter the falls take on a different character with ice and snow creating striking contrasts; in summer the water’s power and surrounding mountain scenery are especially impressive. Parking is convenient, making Sunwapta an accessible natural highlight for visitors of all ages.
