The Mighty Athabasca Falls
Athabasca Falls, one of the most powerful displays of the battle when water and rock meet head on. As the falls roar on, every year millions of people from all over the world come to visit the scars that this battle has left behind.
Just 6 km further down the highway, you can stop at Goat Lookout, a great place to spot bighorn sheep, mountain goats and other animals looking for mineral licks.
