Athabasca Falls

Athabasca Falls is a powerful waterfall located in Jasper National Park, where the Athabasca River thunders through a narrow canyon before plunging 23 metres into a pool below. Its glacial blue waters, surrounded by rugged cliffs and lush vegetation, create a striking contrast and draw visitors to its dramatic landscape. A visit typically entails a walk along well-maintained paths that offer various viewpoints of the falls. The best time to visit is during late spring and early summer when the meltwater swells the river. Nearby, the scenic Icefields Parkway provides stunning views and access to other natural attractions, making it a worthwhile drive.
