Lakes and Waterfalls
Jasper National Park features some of the most striking water formations in the Canadian Rockies. This list includes Athabasca Falls, known for its powerful 23-meter drop over hard quartzite rock, and the multi-tiered Sunwapta Falls fed by the Athabasca Glacier. Maligne Lake offers views of Spirit Island and is the second-largest glacial-fed lake in the world. Near the Jasper townsite, Pyramid Lake sits at the base of Pyramid Mountain, while Tangle Creek Falls provides an accessible multi-level cascade directly beside the Icefields Parkway.
