Alberta - Athabasca Falls – Jasper National Park - Athabasca Falls is easily one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Canada, and a jewel in the crown of Alberta's legendary Jasper National Park. Cutting through rock and opening onto sweeping mountain vistas, multiple routes and bridges allow for a variety of viewpoints. Before reaching the falls, you'll walk along the magnificent limestone gorge where fast flowing water has carved away smooth formations leaving pretty little crevices and swirling whirlpools. Ranging from milky white to aqua blue, the striking color of the water changes throughout the year, but is always awe-inspiring. Have you ever been to this waterfall?

British Columbia - Helmcken Falls – Wells Gray Provincial Park - The fourth tallest waterfall in Canada, Helmcken Falls are located in the majestic Wells Gray Provincial Park, which was created in part to protect the powerful falls. Tumbling water has gradually created a large canyon at the base of the falls and in the winter frozen spray creates an icy wonderland along the edges. Easily accessible by road, there is a platform available for getting that perfect shot. A bit of Canadian waterfall trivia: Despite being named after John Sebastian Helmcken for his role in bringing British Columbia into confederation, the physician passed away without ever visiting the natural wonder.

Access for this waterfall is a short walk down a road to the river, then a moderate walk up a short trail along the stream to the falls. Have you ever been to this waterfall?
