About this place

At Sunwapta Falls, watching the water rush around the perfectly placed island and crash down the falls just downstream is an experience you'll never forget.
Located in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Sunwapta is a short drive along the Icefields Parkway to the Rocky Mountain Lodge. You can park at the lodge and take a short walk out to the falls or if there's room, park at the parking area located next to the falls. This stunning waterfall lunges about 18.5 meters (60 feet) to the water below.
You can add on a quick hike to the lower falls on a 1.9-mile roundtrip hike from the parking area.
Grab your camera or phone and take some amazing shots!
