Description
Canada's Sunwapta Falls is an original photograph by Dyle Warren.
There are actually two falls, a lower and an upper one. The one most people see is the upper falls as access is easy. The lower falls are a short distance away.
The falls are accessible via a short drive off the Icefields Parkway that connects Jasper and Banff National Parks. The falls have a drop of about 18.5 metres. Sunwapta is a Stoney (Assiniboine) word that means turbulent water. It is most spectacular in the late spring when the spring melt is at its peak. The water originates from the Athabasca Glacier, and volumes are higher in early summer, caused by glacial meltdown.- Wikipedia
