Shockingly beautiful place. Take the full hike down to the 5th bridge, but be prepared with proper footware. Could be tricky in wet weather. More

With a walking trail around, it offers great views of a rock canyon and falls that have been carved over thousands of yrs There is also a little cafeteria for a meal or coffee after.

We LOVED this hike - it was a gorgeous day with gorgeous views. This is a must-see in Jasper. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to hike ~10-15km if you plan on doing the entire canyon. Look out for Black Swift's nesting in the side of the canyon - we actually saw a mama sitting on her nest of babies! More

Lovely stroll over the canyon. At the later time in the afternoon we really were not up for a long walk and this is not. It's a must see on your travels. The snow melt made a great sight. The store was open for business and was doing a great trade. Have a look at the fossils on the path. More
