Sunwapta Falls is one of Jasper’s most impressive waterfalls, known for its thundering cascade and dramatic canyon setting. Easily accessible from the Icefields Parkway, the falls are fed by the Athabasca Glacier, giving them a powerful flow, especially in early summer.

A short trail leads to both the Upper and Lower Falls, with the lower section offering quieter viewpoints and fewer crowds. Whether you stop for a quick photo or take the short hike, Sunwapta Falls is a must-see natural wonder in Jasper National Park. It's a classic photo spot along the Icefields Parkway.
