Just spectacular. Our family made a stop here before arriving in Jasper. We all loved it. The walk is short and doesn't take long - we were there for about 45 minutes. We just love watching waterfalls and rushing waters and this was perfect. more

We stopped here on our way into Jasper. It is located just off the Icefields Parkway not too far from Jasper. The falls were absolutely beautiful! There are walk ways around and over the falls to view them from different angles. Take your camera! more

The falls in Athabasca are gorgeous. It shows people from the city that there is more to life than "who can build the biggest building?" or "who can make the longest road?". With beauty in nature like this, who cares? People should really get out of the city once in a while and take time to enjoy nature. And going... more
