These falls, just 30kms south of Jasper, were so picturesque! I absolutely loved them. There was a large volume of water when we were there in September. Clear, paved paths, with some steps, led to viewing areas at the top, middle and base of the falls. It was interesting to view the falls from these different angles, especially the canyon, potholes and downstream flow. It's about a 1 km out-and-back trail (15mins), but allow more time for admiring the scenery and taking photos! Athabasca Falls may not be famous for height or width, but the volume of water and background of forests and mountains create a stunning setting for these gorgeous falls. There were toilet facilities at the car park.
The Athabasca Falls in Jasper are very impressive! Great viewpoints from many angles allow you to see the rushing waters of the falls. The potholes are really unique. It was cool to look down upon them to see all the layers of rock wearing away. This scenic area is really easy to get to but gets very crowded. Paths can get a little slippery, so come prepared wearing sensible footwear. Easy hike takes around twenty minutes to see.
Wonderful experience visiting this place. It was an easy trail to see the waterfalls and about 60 steps to go down to see the cave. Beautiful falls with a nice view of mountains in the background.
One of the best place to visit while you are in Jasper.
Lot of parking space
One star could be more if there is water ruining wash rooms.
Everything was awesome, very well maintained.
Lot of informative boards around the fall.
At least spend there more than one hour.

This is a nice stop for all levels! The falls are right near parking with many options of viewing. For those who wosh to do more hiking there is more trails to take.
Easy for families with young kids too.

Beautiful area. Very busy with people almost all the time. The mist from the waterfall itself is so nice and cold. It’s a small little walk around, perfect for stretching out the legs and seeing a beautiful sight.
If you driving the Icefields parkway this is the falls you can't miss. Great pathways, a few stairs down takes you through what I assume is the old water path and pool which is very cool.
Of course the falls are also nice with multiple view points.
If you go down to the river you may get to see some white water rafters take to the water!
Very cool place to visit!
