Description:
Rated as one of the most aggressive waterfalls in the Rockies, Athabasca churns and rolls, entrancing visitors. The energy behind the powerful falls is geological. The Athabasca River is forced into a sandstone canyon, intensifying the strength of the water. When it's able to exit, it does so with a vengeance. A trail leads around the waterfall and nearby terrain, explaining the workings of the waterfall. Picnic sites are available too. As you might expect, the falls are as stunning during the winter as in the summer. About 20 miles south of Jasper.
