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

Athabasca Glacier Trail

#gohiking The Athabasca Glacier is one of six major outlet glaciers on the Columbia Icefield. The Columbia Icefield at 325 sq km (126 sq miles) is the largest icefield in the interior of all of North America and the Athabasca Glacier is certainly the most easily viewed and "touched" by human feet! Most other glaciers require long hikes or climbs beyond the average hiker and certainly beyond the typical tourist. This glacier makes up only 2% of the total mass of the Columbia Icefield. This short trail offers an opportunity for the average person in good health to hike right up to the toe of a glacier and see crevasses from a distance, glacial pools, streams and moraines.

My eyes can’t get enought of the beautiful views in Alberta it was just a stunning. I wonder if Alberta has a not so good view. I guess..None! #mynovgetaway#couplestrip

Jasper - Canada: Glacier Skywalk is an experience like no other. This is a cliff-edge walkway where a glass floor is with a 280 meters high. We have to buy a ticket to take a bus there and walk s little bit.🗻🗻🗻
