Our
first stop was at Athabasca Falls. I've added this one to my growing
list of favorite waterfalls ever.

The
falls themselves are massive enough to be impressive, but the park
has done a great job of showcasing them with beautiful trails where
you can walk alongside the river, watching it flow from a gentle
stream to a furious torrent as it crashes over the boulder filled
walls.

There's
even a narrow gorge that used to be one of those raging shoots until
the water redirected itself. Now you can walk down through it touching
the rocks on either side where the water raged through and be treated
by an amazing view of canyons and the river after the falls. The
walls are rich with quartz-filled rock, the most interesting kind
to talk to, in my opinion.
