Athabasca Falls Jasper National Park.

Athabasca Falls is located on the Athabasca River in Jasper National Park approximately 30km south of the Jasper townsite. The waterfall is 23m high and 18m wide. Park at the Athabasca Falls parking lot on Highway 93A. This popular tourist attraction is very crowded during the summer months. To avoid the crowds I would suggest arriving at the parking lot early morning or early evening. There are several safe lookouts located near and across the other side of the falls. Do not leave the designated paths or climb over the rails. Several individuals have underestimated how slippery the edge rock is and fallen to their deaths here. The paved trail leads across a wide bridge to numerous lookouts on the south side of the falls. It also leads down several steps towards the bottom of the falls where you can see earlier erosion of past waterfalls and the Athabasca River. Miette Hot Springs and trailheads to Maligne Canyon, Opal Hills, Bald Hills, Mount Edith Cavell, Sulphur Skyline, Horse Shoe Lake, and Whistlers Mountain are also located in this area. You are in bear country.
