Athabasca Falls

✨ About this place

One of Jasper's most powerful waterfalls, where the Athabasca River thunders through a narrow gorge. Several short paved paths with viewpoints lead to stairs and a bridge over the river beside the falls, with views of the canyon and swirling turquoise water.

Parks Canada asks visitors to stay on designated trails and behind the railings: the rock beyond is slippery and dangerous.

You need a national park pass to stop on the Icefields Parkway.
