ALONG THE ICEFIELD PARKWAY: |
| The
Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) run parallels the Continental Divide, traversing the rugged
landscape of the Canadian Rockies. It links Banff National
Park and Jasper National Park, linking Lake Louise and
Jasper. The parkway is 230 kilometres in length. |
ATHABASCA FALLS: Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada |
To reach Athabasca Falls take Highway 93 (Icefield Parkway) South
of Jasper approximately 30 kilometers, the falls are at the junction with Highway 93A.
| Flowing from the glaciers of the Columbia Icefield, the Athabasca River is the
largest river system in Jasper. Among the most powerful and breathtaking falls in the
Rocky Mountains, the Athabasca River thunders through a narrow gorge. The 23 metre
Athabasca Falls is not very high by Canadian Rockies standards, but the size of the river
makes it one of the most powerful falls to be found in the mountain national parks. The
best views are from the opposite side of the falls from the parking area with Mt Kerkeslin
towers in the background. There are lots of short trails to explore on both sides of the
falls. |
