Athabasca Falls: The most stunning and spectacular waterfall in the Rocky Mountains

I am a travel blogger and global traveler, please follow me! (Published in 57 countries/regions and 1015 cities across 5 continents, this is the 1764th original travel photo post) Athabasca Falls, located near the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93), is situated at the junction of Highway 93 and Highway 93A, about 30 kilometers from Jasper town. Although Athabasca Falls is not the largest waterfall in the Rocky Mountains, the river water, melted from ancient glaciers, rushes down and leaps off a 23-meter-high cliff, making it extremely impressive. This makes it the most stunning and spectacular waterfall in the Rocky Mountains. It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Jasper town to this attraction. The parking lot is very close to the site, and a short walk will bring you to the falls. The long-term erosion by the water has carved the riverbed below the cliff into winding gullies and many potholes. The water falls from above, making a roaring sound that can be heard from afar. There is a small path around the falls, allowing you to appreciate the waterfall from different angles. The tour takes about an hour. Address: Improvement District No. 12, Alberta T0E 1E0
