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. |
KERKESLIN GOAT LICK |
Situated at kilometre 38 of the Icefields Parkway from Jasper.
Mountain goats gather here to lick the silt
for its calcium and sulphate content, ingesting so much that their droppings turn
silt-white instead of the usual black. A pale-coloured mineral rich silt deposit is at
kilometre 38 of the Icefields Parkway, this deposit attracts the mountain goats. This is a
great and easy place to see these animals, right near the highway. The view towards the
Athabasca River Valley is wonderful. |

SUNWAPTA FALLS |
Sunwapta Falls are situated half way between the Columbia
Icefield and Jasper Townsite (56 km south of the town of Jasper) on the Icefields Parkway.
Sunwapta means "turbulent water".
The viewpoint of Upper Sunwapta Falls is just off the road. To see the lower falls, just
as impressive as the upper falls, you have to make a short hike, a 30 to 45 minute
walk on a clearly marked trail, this trail will provide also a panoramic views of the
distant Athabasca Valley. |
