Athabasca Falls

Athabasca Falls is one of the most powerful and impressive natural waterfalls of the Canadian Rockies, located in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. The falls are composed of two major drops, each about 18 meters high. Over the years, the erosion of the limestone canyon at the base of the falls has carved unique and awe-inspiring forms of rock. Diverse plant life, from lichens to lodgepole pines, line the canyon, adding to its beauty. The observation platform offers a spectacular and unforgettable view of the cascading white water, and the canyon and vegetation below. The roar of the falling waters can be heard from miles away. Hiking trails offering breathtaking views of the falls and nearby alpine meadows are a great way to explore the area.
