If you follow the steps down, you'll enter the narrow canyon through which the waters of the Athabasca River surge.

Athabasca Falls are a popular attraction and you'll find washrooms, signs, and interpretive information. It can get busy during high season so best advice is to arrive in the morning ahead of the crowds. The first part of the trail - to the main viewing area - is wheelchair accessible
