Summary

[edit]
Description

Athabasca Falls is a waterfall in Jasper National Park on the upper Athabasca River, approximately 30 kilometres (19 miles) south of the townsite of Jasper, Alberta, Canada, and just west of the Icefields Parkway.

A powerful, picturesque waterfall, Athabasca Falls is not known so much for its height of 23 metres (75 feet) as it is known for its force due to the large quantity of water falling into the gorge.

The river falls over a layer of hard quartzite and through the softer limestone below, carving a short gorge and a number of 'potholes'.

The falls can be safely viewed and photographed from various viewing platforms and walking trails around the falls.

Access is from the nearby parking lot, which leads off Highway 93A just northeast of the falls. Highway 93A takes off from the nearby Icefields Parkway, and crosses the falls on the way north to the town of Jasper.
