ATHABASCA FALLS, JASPER NATIONAL PARK, CANADA

Lets visit one of the wonderful falls of nature today. Athabasca Falls is an extremely magnificent waterfall which is located at the Jasper National Park on the upper area of the Athabasca River, Canada. The falls are situated at approximately 30 kilometers south of the town of Jasper of Alberta in Canada and very close to the Ice-fields Parkway. The Athabasca Falls though not very well known for its height which is just 23 meters is still extremely powerful and picturesque.
These falls are known for its force because of the large quantity of water that falls in the gorge below. The falls can be easily and safely viewed or photographed from many different platforms and various walking trails located around.
