Waterfalls? Visit Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls, or how about Mistaya Canyon, Johnston Canyon or Maligne Canyon! Witness the power of water and watch how water cuts, carving its way into age-old rock. The white churning water crashes and turns into the greenest flow. The spray - refreshing... and cold!!! Nature at its finest.
