If you drive to jasper you must stop to see the falls. This place is always very busy. The falls are magnificent. Great turist attraction!

Beautiful and surprisingly a number of things to see and explore. It was very busy though and we had to be patient to get decent pics.

These falls are definitely worth the trip! Only downside, strollers are impossible to maneuver since there are so many steps everywhere and even some that you cannot fit down as its narrow. Aside from that it was beautiful and a must see!

The Athabasca Falls is something you should not miss on a trip to the vicinity of Jasper. It is a mighty waterfall going down a narrow gorge. Like I said awesom!

The falls were easy to get to from the parking lot with only a short walk and a bit of uneven pavement. Definitely add this waterfall cascade to your must do list in Jasper.....beautiful

Not one of the highest waterfalls but definitely spectacular at 23 metres. Lots of walkways and photo opportunities. I would have been upset if I hadn't visited these falls.

Easy to find located just off the Icefields Parkway. Out transport from Jasper to Lake Louise stopped here as the guide says it is a true gem and couldn't agree more. Beautiful waterfall and gorges. Walkways and bridges give you the change to cross the gorges and see the vertical path the water has cut into to the rock. The... More

Even nicer in April than summer with the snow and ice over the water edges. Much quieter at this time of year.
