Athabasca Falls

Athabasca Falls is located in Jasper National Park on the upper Athabasca River, approximately 30 kilometres south of the townsite of Jasper, Alberta, Canada. Athabasca Falls is not known so much for the height of the falls (23 metres), as it is known for its force due to the large quantity of water falling into the gorge. Even on a cold morning in the fall, when river levels tend to be at their lowest, copious amounts of water flow over the falls. It was impressive when we visited in September, 2014.

 

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
