    The Athabasca Falls are inside the Jasper National Park. Although they are not very high by Canadian Rockies standards, the size of the river makes them very powerful. Pouring over a layer of hard quartzite, the falls have cut into the softer limestone beneath, carving intricate features, including potholes & a short canyon. We were warned that Mist from the falls covers surrounding rocks with a thin, slippery film of water that can be dangerous. Flowing from the glaciers of the Columbia Icefield, the Athabasca River is the largest river system in Jasper. In 1810, Canada's premier map-maker & explorer, plied the Athabasca searching for a viable fur trade route to the Pacific. Discovering Athabasca Pass he established Canada as a country that spans the North American. In 1862, the Overlanders traveled along the Athabasca River headed for the Cariboo Goldrush, then 30 years later by 2 national railways. Today one railway and a transcontinental highway follow parts of the river through the park. It was recognized for its historical, natural & recreational values, it was designated a Canadian heritage river in 1989.

    These falls are located just over 20 miles south of Jasper on the Icefields Parkway. I would rank them as slightly more impressive / scenic than Sunwapta Falls (nearby), but both are worth seeing. This spot has much more parking available and finding a space was not so challenging here. The falls are a short walk along a level paved path from the parking area. There is a bridge over the falls (about where it tumbles into a short, narrow gorge) and short trails up- and down-stream to check out. Upstream gives you the best view of the falls themselves and makes the most impression regarding the power of the water. If you follow the trail that leads under the highway bridge, it actually follows a now-dry former streambed and gives you some further insights into the waters' interaction with the rocks. This path leads to either a cliff view of the stream or, via some stairs, access to a rocky beach after the falls empty into the riverbed at their end. Both are worth exploring. Given that there are somewhat more paths here than at Sunwapta, you can probably devote between 1 - 2 hours here, depending on how long you want to linger at each overlook / area. I thought this was a very worthwhile stop.

    Athabasca Falls was just okay. In terms of all the wonderful attractions, sceneries and landmarks within the Canadian Rockies...it's definitely nowhere near the top. For most people though, it's extremely accessible situated right off famed Icefields Parkway. To be precise, between Banff and Jasper, Athabasca Falls is 75 kilometers or 46 miles north of the Columbia Icefield area and 33 kilometers or 20 miles south of downtown Jasper. This place cannot be missed while you're driving. And...Athabasca Falls is quite popular with the tour buses. During my visit in the middle of June, 2022, there were plenty of buses parked in the lot. Then upon casually walking the pathway towards the viewing area...I could sense all the groups of tourists huddled together trying to capture family photos. Being here at Athabasca Falls is quite simple. From the parking lot, it's like 1/4 of a mile walk towards the falls. I maybe spent 20 minutes hanging out before returning to my car. Overall, Athabasca Falls was nothing special. It's like a big river flowing through a canyon gorge and with tourists standing over a bridge section, the river drops down below, which is then (I guess) deemed a waterfall. You can capture real closeup pictures which can make this place worthwhile. But for me...I was expecting some sort of plunging, statuesque waterfall standing high and mighty in the background. That was definitely not the case. Most visitors were doing their usual selfie photos. Athabasca Falls is not an example where you can stand on a shoreline or down below at the base of the falls and have a stranger take a photo of you and your family. The only possible way of getting yourself and the falls all within one shot is by doing selfie pics, and for me...selfies are not that important, especially since Athabasca Falls wasn't memorable. Btw, if you are heading south, then Sunwapta Falls will most likely be your next stop...about 25 kilometers down the road. Sunwapta Falls is similar to this Athabasca Falls in being another roadside stop along Icefields Parkway where you're viewing the falls from a bridge viewpoint while it's spilling out through a canyon ravine. I was traveling north and my next stop was Valley of the Five Lakes, 22 kilometers north from here, which I very much appreciated. Athabasca Falls is basically just a waterfall that is formed by a drop in the Athabasca River as it gushes through a rugged canyon gorge. Most people will say this place is beautiful, but I believe in reality, and compared to the wondrous snowcapped mountains of Icefields Parkway, this place is certainly a step below the rest of the sights and surroundings among the Canadian Rockies.

    Not to be missed while driving the Icefields Parkway. This place was one of the "must see" stops along our drive from Jasper to Banff. It's right off the Parkway and literally next to the parking lot. It is absolutely stunning and certainly didn't disappoint. If you have mobility issues, it may present a bit of a struggle as the ground is uneven and the path has multiple obstacles, but we passed two individuals in wheelchairs who got close enough to enjoy the beauty of the falls. There are several spots to take pictures and on the day we went, it was not that busy. While not as tall or volumnous as Niagara/Horseshoe Falls, it is still very impressive, and it will inspire awe. The canyon (carved by the river) is beautiful as well. Highly recommend stopping here.

    What a beautiful place to visit! It's only a 30 min drive from the town of Jasper. It's got a big parking lot and bathrooms (outhouses) available. The walk is wonderful, you can stay at the top level of the falls or walk down to the bottom and see the beautiful lake. You can see it in a few minutes or spend a few hours walking around. There are paths, and stairs, lots of rock formations, a few different view spots to see the falls. Definitely a must see if you are visiting Jasper.

    This is another pretty falls in a canyon along the Icefields Parkway. It's a little hard to get a great view of it, but the whole area is pretty. The viewpoints are pretty close to the parking lot. The closest viewpoint is crowded, but probably has the best view of the falls. You can't really see the falls from the bridge. The viewpoint of the falls on the far side of the bridge isn't bad either. You can walk around the area a bit. You can walk upstream and get really close to the falls and downstream to see the canyon and river. It's all pretty close and has good views. This is definitely worth a quick stop at.

    Massive waterfall and very easy walk to get there (about 0.6 miles). Parking is easy and there are bathrooms there too. Go early to catch sunrise and avoid the crowds.

    Waterfalls in Canada? 9 am Monday Labor Day weekend, a short drive out of Jasper along the Icefields Parkway is one of the major attractions of Jasper National Park, the Athabasca Falls. We pull up in our touring bus, alongside a half dozen other touring buses in the parking lot, each bus carrying up to 57 more tourists to add to the crowds. Pit toilets for those willing to hold their noses! Short walk to the river area, running in a gorge carved by raging waters. Farther on, a 70 foot falls, pushed by thousands of gallons per second roaring over the edge alongside large multi ton boulders anchored like sentinels in the river. Warning signs, along a fenced in area, with safety barriers and wire mesh fences to keep visitors from falling in. No holding up babies, or standing taking selfies on top of the barriers, or on the slippery rock surfaces nearby. One slip means certain death with you being smashed head first into the rocks below the surface. Memorials and bench plaques to only a few of the many who have perished. Thousands of visitors, all trying to take pictures of the spectacle, from a few photography vantage points, unobstructed by the visitors. Areas near the waterfall full of ankle deep pools of water from runoff and spray. I stand in line right next to a guy with a corner shot. Before I know it, a lady from our tour bus jumps the line and sneaks in a series of pictures. No she wasn't Chinese! Time is of the essence as we only have 20 minutes here before the bus loads up and drives on. Why only 4 stars. No comparison to 2450 foot Yosemite falls in the spring time, tallest falls in North America, the mist trail and Vernal Falls in Yosemite, Bridalveil falls in Yosemite, Yellowstone Falls, just to name a few. But for easy accessibility, sheer volume of water, close up action, and in your face violence of the raging waters, Athabasca Falls has few rivals. Just don't fall in, as not only will it throw off the tour schedule, but there will be a lot of added paper work for our tour manager!

    So beautiful. Just so. so. so. beautiful. This is hands-down. My favorite stop along the Jasper-Banff route. After a while ...you see so many canyons and falls that they start to blend together. But this one stands apart. There are many angles to take photos and a fun stairwell with various vantage points. Its a slick dangerous place so keep an eye on the kiddos. But do bring your camera and fancy lenses. We loved it here. We visited twice.

    Must see on the way to Jasper! This is a very popular waterfalls and parking isn't hard to find. The walk to the falls is easy and the views are magnificent. There are several places to explore other than just looking at the waterfalls. Make sure you stop by here on the way to Jasper. Highly recommend!

    On the drive from Jasper to Banff, you'll find the Athabasca Falls as one of the first major stops. We were glad we stopped by! Upon entering from the parking lot, you'll see the top part of the falls, with water moving steadily through the fall. Walking a bit further down, you'll see the full fury of the falls. It may not be the highest waterfall, but the roar and volumetric flow of water against the rocks are impressive! You'll have the opportunity to walk around and see the falls from different angles, along with potholes created by water. Hike a bit farther down toward the canyon and its a completely different scenery - quiet still water surrounded by a large rocky beach. Some clever folks made some creative rock sculptures here. One somber aspect of visiting the Athabasca Falls is that there are some benches and makeshift memorials dedicated to folks who died trying to hike on the slippery rocks and fell. Heed the signs to stay within the railing and respect Mother Nature!

    Gorgeous. That's what comes to mind when I recall Athabasca Falls. The views are breathtaking, the carved potholes and tunnels are beyond impressive and the roar of the falls resonates into your bones. We walked around this area for at least an hour reading the interpretive signs and exploring all the paths. The only downside, too many people and the bathroom situation (portable toilets), but don't let that detour you...it's worth it. This beauty was definitely one of my favorites on the Icefield Parkway.

    Amy L.

    The falls and canyon are very nice but it's a bit too crowded because of easy access from Hwy 93. Still recommended to visit as it's one of the most impressive waterfalls we have seen in Rockies.

The lot can fill up so you may end up parking on the road's shoulder. I think you can reserve tickets online, but we just did walk-up (as we were not sure when we'd arrive on our first day after the 4-hour drive). When we got there (a bit before 2 p.m. on a Sunday), they were selling tickets for a tram just before 4 p.m. They also want you to book a rough return time. We opted for 2 hours. We then drove back to Jasper to explore the town for an hour before returning to wait at the terminal. If you can, you should schedule your ticket in advance to avoid a long wait. This area also has a café of some sort (outdoor seating), a gift shop, and the ticket office. There are also restrooms here. The trams run every 7 - 8 minutes (there are 2 operating in tandem). They call your time slot and you queue up awaiting the tram. It soon arrives and your group is herded in. Then you have a 7-minute ride to the top. There is a similar terminal at the top, but with a sit-down restaurant also. The main attraction here is hiking. You are above the tree line, so the trails are all just dirt among barren ground and stones. You do notice the air being a bit thinner here also. If you have hiking poles, they will be helpful. It is a bit desolate (other than all your fellow hikers) but still pretty in its own way. If you aren't interested in hiking up to the nearby summit, then you may want to question whether the tram rides and strolling a bit are worth the ~ $60 CDN price (per person). When you want to return, you can either wait for your agreed slot or inquire with the staff whether there are known extra spaces on earlier trams. We were lucky and got 2 spaces 25 minutes or so early, which was good. Also, it is colder at the top, especially if you are waiting in the shade. You may want to bring a light jacket (even in summer). The visit here is definitely better on a really clear day. There was lingering smoke from wildfires earlier in the summer when we visited, which degraded the views of more distant mountains.

Overflow appeared to be along the approach road. We did find a space that was being vacated by another car, but later it appeared this was likely a less-than-legitimate parking space. Oh well. The falls are quite close to the parking area (maybe 100 yards?). There are actually two falls connected by a narrow / deep canyon of about 100 feet in length. There are several viewing areas and it pays to visit all 3 - 4 of them, to get the best overview of both falls. I'd recommend visiting in the afternoon for better lighting. Also, if you are visiting both, I'd recommend coming here *before* going to Athabasca Falls (which is further along the road towards Jasper), as the latter is more impressive. That is not to say that Sunwapta is not worthwhile; I just think you'll be more impressed with it if you see it first and are not comparing it at the time with Athabasca. The trails to overlooks are fairly short. Seeing the whole place took on the order of 30 - 45 minutes, for us. YMMV. Definitely a worthwhile stop, though.

You got both angles of the trees coming at you from both sides. And while walking above this 3rd Lake, the center of it was dark green with a light blend of turquoise green on the outer sections of it. It was too good to be true! I was impressed! 2nd Lake was sort of a downer. Weird. Out of nowhere coming across this lake, it was like a pale brownish. But still, it was clean enough at the bottom to where you could still see the reflections of the trees. So, ultimately, it wasn't too colorful, but the reflections were good enough. And honestly, it was sort of a nice change of pace from the rest of the others. Finally 1st Lake. This had the best coloring in terms of real good turquoise blue but just unfortunately the trees overtook the perspectives from the trail. If they only did some maintenance around it...1st lake would be everyone's favorite, lol. 1st Lake is the biggest of them all and will take you the longest amount of time to navigate around.

Which was good, because it was pretty much a straight uphill climb for 2.2 miles and the last quarter mile or so was pure agony, but you feel so good when you finally make it! We lingered at the summit with the other hikers, eating our packed lunch and taking in the breathtaking views. There were a lot of really cute chipmunks at the summit that were obviously used to being fed by people (which you're not supposed to do, and we didn't) and were bold enough to come right up to your feet to look for scraps. The other best part was rolling right into the hot springs again after our hike and soaking the aches away.

    The Edith Cavell hike overlooking Angel Glacier was breathtaking. The hike was a bit strenuous in…read moreparts but that was also due to the cold winter air blowing it. The hike is worth it! I could have sat on the rocks looking unto the glacier for hours had the temperature not dropped significantly and the snow fall. It is a beautiful area and didn't have many tourists so it was perfect!

    The meadows trail is a must-see and must-do for people who visit Jasper. It's a little challenging…read morebut not that difficult. Takes a couple of hours to get all the way to the top for someone like me who is not at all fit and is suffering from knee problems on both knees. The greatest thing about this trail is that it is completely rewarding. You climb up to point number 3 on the trail (which is roughly 4 km from the start and an elevation gain of 500 metres) and the views of the Angel glacier, lake and the Cavell meadows are beautiful. While climbing up, you'll have the opportunity to see some really pretty wild flowers that grow in this sub-alpine forest. It's totally worth half a day's work and the best part is, when you get back down, you can complete the Glacier loop and get really close to the glacier. Leave that for the end and you'll enjoy your day thoroughly. I would go on to recommend starting this trail a little early in the day. 9 a.m.m would be great. You'd reach the top with the sun shining nicely on the face of Mt. Edith Cavell and with a terrific color of the Angel lake.

    This is Wilcox Pass Trail located in the Columbia Icefield section of Jasper National Park…read more It's an 8 kilometer (or 5 mile) moderate, roundtrip hike offering rewarding views of Athabasca and Snow Dome Glaciers set in the distance. Basically...if you'd like to capture a landscape/panoramic perspective of this ultra popular, Icefields Parkway area from high above...then you'll appreciate venturing along Wilcox Pass Trail. The hike ends when you have reached Wilcox Ridge, the "pinnacle of it all" where you'll have undisturbed, vista point sceneries. Here at Wilcox Ridge...some hikers were taking selfies as well as sitting and relaxing while having water and snacks. Btw, an added bonus midway through the hike was...passing by a family of bighorn sheep while they were lying and grazing in the grass right along the path towards Wilcox Ridge. Now...I highly recommend you proceed onto Wilcox Pass Trail in the morning to be afforded time with the sun at your back and making for worthwhile picture opportunities. Funny...unfortunately for me, the first time I arrived here, I stopped in the afternoon and the sun was staring me straight in the face. I was barely able to admire the setting because I was blinded by the sun and couldn't see. Welp...with a 2nd chance to make things right, lol, I woke up the following morning (at 6am!) and was the first hiker onto the trail. This made all the difference. With the sun's positioning in the sky exactly where I wanted it, I was now able to have wonderful moments breathing in the fresh Canadian air while enjoying the glacial surroundings. Overall, it made for a fulfilling morning and first half of my day. One extra note...right nearby here (just a few kilometers down the road) is another 1/2-day hike I'd recommend called - Parker Ridge Trail. And, of course, don't forget to spend time at the Columbia Icefield Lodge and taking a tour out onto Athabasca Glacier (which almost every tourist does). Alright, well, this is Wilcox Pass trail situated in the heart of Jasper NP, Alberta, Canada.

    This trail is probably the nicest short trail in Banff-Jasper area, especially when there are no…read moreforest fires or low clouds, so you get perfect views of mountains Athabasca, Andromeda, North Twin, and Columbia icefields. I don't think any other trail in the Rockies is that rewarding in terms of the views from the top. We didn't see any wildlife except for lone elk and some pikas, but people report seeing marmots and mountain goats. Someone told us that there are some fossils right at the top, we tried to find them but couldn't. I recommend starting your hike early in the morning as by 2pm the sun will be right behind the mountains and you would see anything. Also, by noon, the trail will be crowded, we met over 30 people on the way down.
