Athabasca Falls

Athabasca Falls is a waterfall in Jasper National Park on the upper Athabasca River, roughly 30 kilometers south of the townsite of Jasper, Alberta, Canada, and only west of the Icefields Parkway. An intense, pleasant waterfall, Athabasca Falls isn't known such a great amount for the tallness of the falls 23 meters, as it is known for its power because of the extensive amount of water falling into the canyon.

Indeed, even on a frosty morning in the fall, when waterway levels have a tendency to be at their most minimal, bountiful measures of water stream over the falls. The waterway 'falls' over a layer of hard quartzite and through the milder limestone beneath cutting the short canyon and ious potholes. The falls can be securely seen and shot from different review stages and strolling trails around the falls.

Access is from the adjacent parking garage, which opens Highway 93A only upper east of the falls. Expressway 93A takes off from the close-by Icefields Parkway, and crosses the falls in transit north to the town of Jasper. Wilderness boating regularly begins beneath the tumbles to movement downstream on the Athabasca River to Jasper.
