What people say
Rachelle Rutgrink
"Athabasca Falls stands as a natural masterpiece within Jasper National Park, where the mighty Athabasca River rushes through a narrow gorge, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of power and beauty. The falls' thundering waters plunge into a chasm, surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs, while accessible viewpoints allow visitors to feel the mist on their faces and witness the raw force of nature. This iconic attraction showcases the enduring energy of the Canadian Rockies and offers an unforgettable encounter with the untamed spirit of the wilderness."

"ATHABASCA FALLS is a major attraction on the Icefields Parkway, and while the crowds can be frustrating, it is absolutely worth visiting.
This relatively short but mighty waterfall on the Athabasca River roars over a cliff into a limestone canyon that has been beautifully carved from centuries of swirling, rushing water. "
