Important Update: Jasper National Park and the town of Jasper experienced severe wildfire damage. Limited services and attractions are available around Jasper and in Jasper town. Please refer to Jasper National Park’s page as well as this list of what’s open in the town of Jasper for updates before planning your trip.
The Rockies of Jasper National Park are well known for spectacular mountain views, enormous glaciers, and tons of wildlife. There is also no shortage of amazing waterfalls! Sunwapta Falls is one of my favorites because it’s absolutely stunning and so easy to get to.
Sunwapata Falls is a hidden gem along the Icefields Parkway. This freeway follows the breathtaking landscape as you travel between Banff and Jasper National Parks. Stopping at this powerful waterfall is super easy since it’s right off the road. So whether you’re looking for a quick scenic viewpoint or want to explore the wilderness for a while, Sunwapta Falls is a great idea!
Sunwapta Falls is open year-round, making it a great activity no matter when you’re visiting! I personally love exploring Jasper during the winter because it takes on a completely different feel. But regardless of when you’re visiting, there are some things to know beforehand.
To make your trip planning easier, we’ve put together this guide to visiting Sunwapta Falls. So if you want to make the most out of your trip, keep reading!

1. About Sunwapta Falls


Sunwapta Falls is a beautiful 19-meter (62-foot) waterfall. It’s not widely known for its size but for its beautiful clear water and powerful flow. Sunwapta means “turbulent water” and got its name from the Stoney First Nation people. The Sunwapta River is quite powerful and has carved its way through the mountains and feeds into the Athabasca River.
Sunwapta Falls is a great hiking area with upper and lower falls to explore. The upper falls are easily accessible from the parking lot, making it a great viewpoint for all travelers.
The lower falls are a short 3.2-kilometer (2-mile) hike down the trail and lead you right beside the riverbank. While the lower Sunwapata Falls hike is considered easy, not as many visitors venture down to see it. This is precisely why we like it – we can get away from the crowd while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The hike takes roughly one hour to complete and is best from May through October.
We love stopping at Sunwapta Falls whenever we are driving along the Icefields Parkway. While it is very close to Athabasca Falls, it draws less of a crowd, making this an easy way to experience the beautiful outdoors in a less-touristy area.
2. Where is Sunwapta Falls?

Sunwapta Falls is located along the iconic Icefields Parkway, between Jasper and Banff. It’s about 500 meters (574 yards) off the highway behind the Sunwapta Falls Rocky Mountain Lodge.
This is a convenient stop if you’re looking for an hour’s hike or a quick photo-op with the beautiful falls. We’ve driven the Icefields Parkway many times, and when we want to stretch our legs (without wasting much time), we come here. It’s just one minute off the highway and has a stunning view.
These falls are located on the northern portion of the Sunwapta River, which is fed from the Athabasca Glacier. You can also head down this river on a whitewater rafting tour from Jasper. But although the Sunwapta Challenge whitewater rafting tour is intense, we started further downstream from the Sunwapta Falls. When you see the falls, you’ll understand why!
If you just want to catch a glimpse of the Sunwapta Falls, the viewpoint is easy to access from the nearby towns. The falls are 56 km (35 mi) south of Jasper. Simply jump on Highway 93 (the Icefields Parkway), and it should take you about 40 minutes to reach Sunwapta Falls. You can spend about 10-20 minutes viewing the upper falls, so we definitely recommend making this pit stop if you can!
From Banff, you’ll take the Icefields Parkway north for 234 km (145 mi) to reach the falls. This should take about 2.5 hours to drive, and there are so many other scenic views along the way.
I love making a day out of the drive from Banff to Jasper. We usually go intentionally slow so we can stop and see some of the beautiful places, such as Sunwapta Falls!
You’ll take a similar route to reach the falls from Lake Louise. It is a 179-kilometer (111-mile) drive that should take about 2 hours. The route from Lake Louise to Jasper has plenty of awesome sights along the way. So, if you have a couple of days to explore, this is a great area!
3. Is it free to visit Sunwapta Falls?

Yes, it is free to visit Sunwapta Falls! There are no entrance or parking fees. However, you do need a Canada Parks Pass to drive on the Icefields Parkway.
You can purchase your Canada Parks Pass online beforehand or at any of the visitor centers and national park entrances. If you’re driving from Jasper town, there’s also a toll booth right on the road where you can buy the Parks Pass.
The day pass is $10.50 CAD per adult or $21 CAD per vehicle, each day. If you plan on spending more time in the area, I recommend purchasing the Discovery Pass for $145 CAD. This allows you to visit all of Canada’s National Parks and is valid for one year.
Parks Canada Pass Quick Info
If you plan on spending time in Canada’s national parks (including Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Mount Revelstoke, Glacier, Kootenay, and more) then you’re going to have to pay for a Parks Pass.
Single Daily Admission:
This type of pass is valid for one person for one day. It is ONLY the best value if you are traveling alone and only plan to visit a national park for a couple of days.
- Adult (ages 18-64) is $11 CAD
- Senior (65+) is $9.50 CAD
- Youth/Child (17 or younger) is FREE

- Senior (65+) – $64.50 CAD
- Group/Family (up to 7 people in one vehicle) – $151.25 CAD

Parks Canada Passes can be bought online here or at one of the Visitor Centers or booths at the entrance to many national parks.
4. Is there parking at Sunwapta Falls?

Yes, there is lots of parking! The parking area by the trailhead rarely fills up, and there are plenty of parking spaces. Many visitors only see the upper falls, so they don’t spend a long time parked, so even on a busy day you shouldn’t have an issue finding a parking spot!
Accessing the upper falls is a short 100-meter (328-foot) walk from the parking lot, and is accessible to all people.

5. When is the best time to visit Sunwapta Falls?
The best time to visit Sunwapta Falls is in the morning or late afternoon. Because the falls are so accessible from Jasper, it can certainly get busy! Visiting at these hours is your best bet to avoid crowds.
It doesn’t matter what time of year you plan on visiting Sunwapta Falls because it is truly gorgeous in any season. My favorite time of year is to visit in the fall when all the leaves are changing color. However, I also love visiting in the spring when the snow is melting. This makes the falls even more powerful.
It really is a beautiful sight no matter what time of year you visit!
6. Can you visit Sunwapta Falls in winter?

Yes, and we have! Seeing Sunwapta in winter makes for a completely different experience than in the summer. So if you’re visiting Jasper in the wintertime, I highly recommend a visit.
The whole area feels like a winter wonderland. The once-dirt trails are covered in snow, and you’ll see the waterfall frozen in time. It’s all quite remarkable!
The hike to Lower Sunwapta Falls is still accessible in winter, and you should definitely do it! You can access it without crampons/snowshoes if there isn’t any fresh snow. Otherwise, it becomes a whole new adventure.
Keep in mind that driving on the Icefields Parkway in winter can get quite icy and dangerous. Watch out for road closures and weather conditions before you make the journey to Sunwapta Falls. You can find up-to-date road condition information on the 511 Alberta website.
7. How long is the hike to Sunwapta Falls?


There are two falls in the Sunwapta Falls area. One just requires a short walk, and the other is a real hike. We’ve visited both, and if you have time or enjoy hiking, we’d recommend the same!
The upper falls are accessible to everyone from the parking lot. It’s about a 100-meter (328-foot) walk down to the viewing bridge where you can see the rushing water cutting through the gorge. This is the main viewpoint and the busiest section of the falls. But, this is also the spot where you can get the best look at the water!
You can also take a little further walk to the start of the bridge to see the top of the falls. And if you have time and energy, you can hike to the Lower Falls!
Hike to Lower Sunwapta Falls
The hike to the Lower Falls is much more of a true hike! This 3.2-kilometer (1.9-mile) out-and-back hike leads you right down to the river’s edge. The trail is well-maintained and easy to follow, with only a 143-meter (470-foot) elevation gain. As such, it’s relatively easy for most hikers.
On this hike, the first viewpoint will take you to one of three drops that makes up the Lower Sunwapta Falls. You can continue down the trail to a few other fenced viewpoints. Overall, this hike is quite safe, and the fences ensure you don’t fall into the rushing water!
This hike is open year-round and is a beautiful way to experience the falls! If you have an hour or so to spare during your Jasper trip, you should definitely take a hike around Sunwapta Falls!
It’s also a good option if you’re looking for a wintertime day trip or hike from the Banff area. Just be prepared to hike in the snow!
8. What are the best tours that visit Sunwapta Falls?

There are several tours that take you along the Icefields Parkway. This is such a scenic stretch of road, and sometimes, it’s nice to sit back and let someone else do the driving! Plus, tours know the best places to go and will plan out your day accordingly.
Sunwapta Falls is an easy stop on these tours because as we said, it’s right off the highway! I’ve found the best tours stopping here leave from Jasper, Banff, or Lake Louise. And below, I’ve highlighted my favorite options from each starting point.
Tours from Jasper
Jasper to Lake Louise One-Way Tour
This one-way Tour is perfect if you need a ride from Jasper to Lake Louise and want to see gorgeous sights along the way. You’ll get hotel pick-up and drop-off and be transported in a comfy minibus. So not only is this tour convenient, it made the journey very enjoyable!
On this 10-hour tour, we started our day around 8 am and hit top attractions like Crowfoot Glacier, the Weeping Wall, and Bow Lake, one of the top lakes in Banff National Park.
But my favorite part of this full-day tour was definitely visiting the Athabasca Glacier. Here, we spent 4 hours on the Glacier Adventure Tour (so you get a tour within a tour!). We walked on an actual glacier and sampled the natural water, which was an overall unforgettable experience. And to top it off, we visited the Jasper Skywalk for a beautiful view over the Sunwapta Valley.
With so many awesome stops (including Sunwapta Falls, of course!), the drive goes by in a flash. Plus, the tour also covers a relaxing picnic lunch. So for $276 CAD, you get a meal, the Athabasca Glacier experience, the Skywalk entry, your guide, and transportation! The small group makes it feel more personalized as well.
At the end of the tour, you’ll be dropped off in the fun town of Lake Louise. So if you’re headed there anyways, check availability and book your tour online here!
Jasper to Banff One-Way Tour
If you’re heading from Jasper to Banff, then this full-day tour makes the trip easy and lots of fun! Not only is your transportation included, but your guide will teach you all about the history of the region. You’ll see amazing sights like Athabasca Falls, Bow Lake, the Crowfoot Glacier, and the Weeping Wall.
Plus, this tour includes a visit to the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre to walk along the famous Skywalk. But the part I really loved was riding an Ice Explorer across the surface of the Athabasca Glacier. Trust me, you don’t forget an experience like that!
We always recommend this tour because it turns the journey from Jasper to Banff into an awesome road trip. You don’t need to worry about renting a car or planning your itinerary. All the work is done for you, so you can simply show up and enjoy the adventure!
This tour costs $282 CAD including a picnic along the way, your guide, and the tour of the Columbia Icefield. To begin the day, you can either head to the meeting point by 8:30 am, or contact the tour company when booking online to arrange hotel pick-up. After the 10-hour tour, you’ll be dropped off in the gorgeous town of Banff.

Tours from Banff and Lake Louise
Banff to Jasper One-Way Tour
This one-way tour is the exact same as the Jasper to Banff tour we mentioned above but in reverse! You’ll be transported in a comfortable vehicle, exploring both Banff and Jasper National Parks all in one go. It really is the most convenient way to get between the two and sightsee at the same time.
As mentioned, you’ll stop at the best locations, including Lake Louise, the Crowfoot Glacier, and Bow Lake. You’ll also enjoy the Athabasca Glacier Adventure and walk across the famous Skywalk. There are so many Instagrammable spots in Banff National Park, you’ll definitely have stunning photos to remember your trip by!
What I also loved about this full-day tour is how friendly and knowledgeable the guides were. They shared interesting facts about the area’s history, geology, and culture. It really is a memorable experience that’s jam-packed with beautiful sights.
Tours begin around 8:30 am and include hotel pick-up and drop-off (excluding campgrounds). For $282 CAD, you get everything we mentioned along with a relaxing picnic lunch. It’s a great deal and such a practical way to get between these two towns. So if you want to enjoy the ride, book this tour online here!
Lake Louise to Jasper One-Way Tour
If you’re heading from Lake Louise to Jasper, this one-way tour is the best option! It’s similar to the one mentioned above, but again, in reverse. You’ll travel along the Canadian Rockies, taking in beautiful mountains, glaciers, and lakes.
You’ll stop at Sunwapta Falls to see the breathtaking rapids as well as visit Athabasca Falls. My highlight of the tour was the 4-hour Athabasca Glacier experience, which covered a trip onto the glacier itself and a walk across the Jasper Skywalk.
This full-day tour is full of ridiculously beautiful views every step of the way. And because you’re coming from Lake Louise, it starts around 9:45 am instead. I loved getting an extra hour of sleep before heading out! Just make sure to let the tour operators know where you’re staying in Lake Louise in advance.
This tour lasts 10 hours and costs $276 CAD. It covers your transportation, guide, onboard commentary, and all the activities we mentioned. I recommend this tour to everyone traveling from Lake Louise to Jasper. So if that’s you, don’t hesitate to book it online here!

9. Is Sunwapta Falls wheelchair friendly?

You can access the upper falls by wheelchair easily! The upper falls are a short distance from the parking lot. It is paved the whole way and gives beautiful views of Sunwapta Falls.
The hike to the lower falls is not wheelchair accessible. It quickly turns to a dirt path full of rocks and tree roots and is occasionally muddy. But, the upper falls give you the best look at the roaring falls anyways!
10. What facilities will you find at Sunwapta Falls?
Near the parking lot, you’ll find bathrooms and picnic tables. The bathrooms are well-maintained and wheelchair accessible.
There are plenty of picnic tables, making this a great lunch spot as you’re exploring the Icefields Parkway! You can spend an hour or two walking around the falls. Then, stop to eat and relax before continuing your adventure.
11. What are other places to visit near Sunwapta Falls?


Sunwapta Falls Rocky Mountain Lodge
Right off the Icefields Parkway is the Sunwapta Falls Rocky Mountain Lodge. Not only is this a great place to grab lunch after your Sunwapta Falls hike, but it’s also a great place to stay along the Icefields Parkway!
The area surrounding the falls is simply stunning. If you have the chance to stay a few days, you absolutely should. This lodge is cozy and off-the-beaten-path, helping you be close to outdoor adventures. Plus, stargazing around here is incredible on a clear night!
The staff members are super friendly and happy to answer any questions about the area. Rooms start at $242 CAD including breakfast, but can get over $500 CAD in the summer. If you’d like to stay right by Sunwapata Falls, your best bet is to book the Lodge well in advance online.
If you only stop for lunch (which is still a great option) you won’t be disappointed! The Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I’d recommend getting an authentic Canadian experience by trying some poutine or the Albertan Beef Burger. If you prefer, you can also grab lunch to-go starting at 8 am. We did this once and it made for an excellent picnic by the falls.
Goats and Glacier Lookout
The Goats and Glacier Viewpoint is just a 12-minute drive from Sunwapta Falls. This gorgeous viewpoint is also called “Goat’s Lick” because mountain goats are often spotted licking the minerals from the cliffside here. Honestly, the opportunity to see that is enough incentive for me!
Unfortunately, we didn’t see any goats the last time we visited. But, we did witness the amazing view! From the lookout, you can see the flowing river and a few glaciers. Aside from the goats, you should definitely keep your eye out for other wildlife in the area!
To reach the Goats and Glacier Lookout from Sunwapta Falls, head north on the Icefields Parkway (towards Jasper). After about 17 km (10.6 mi), you’ll reach the viewpoint parking lot. It’s just a small parking lot on the western side of the road, and you’ll easily see the lookout point from here.
Athabasca Falls
Athabasca Falls is famous for a reason, and I’m blown away every time I visit. If you’re staying in Jasper, you should definitely make the 30-minute drive to see them! And from Sunwapta Falls, it’s less than a 20-minute drive.
This waterfall is so powerful that it’s created some cool rock formations over the years. It’s actually one of my favorite stops along the Icefields Parkway.
The falls are easily accessible from the parking lot, which is just off the Icefields Parkway. From here, there’s a short trail over a bridge to the other side of the falls. I take it slow so I can read all the information boards along the walkway. They tell you all about the falls and the surrounding nature as well as the area’s history.
Athabasca Falls is open all year round and in the winter the falls turn into a frozen winter wonderland. So whether you’re visiting Jasper in the summer or winter, you should definitely add it to your itinerary!

12. Is visiting Sunwapta Falls worth it?

Yes, visiting Sunwapta Falls is totally worth it! This is an incredibly beautiful waterfall nestled right in the Rockies. It’s also a super easy stop right off the Icefields Parkway. You can easily add Sunwapta Falls to your itinerary when visiting Jasper, Banff, or Lake Louise.
The upper falls are a great quick stop and accessible to everyone. Or if you’re looking for a little adventure, hiking to the lower falls is a fun way to get up close to the water. Regardless of how you explore Sunwapta Falls, it is certainly worth a stop!
Other Activities to do While You’re in Jasper


Jasper National Park is filled with fun things to do and see! So besides visiting Sunwapta Falls, there are a few other activities that we recommend you try.
- Whitewater rafting – Jasper is one of the best places in Alberta to go whitewater rafting with a few different rivers nearby. For an adrenaline-filled rafting experience complete with Class 3 rapids, opt for this rafting tour. It has nearly all 5-star reviews and costs $123 CAD per person. For something a little calmer and family-friendly but just as highly rated, choose this scenic rafting experience for only $85 CAD each.
- Spirit Island – Maligne Lake is arguably the most famous lake in Jasper National Park. At Maligne Lake, you can hike, canoe on the lake, or eat at a lakeside restaurant. However, the best activity at the lake is this scenic Maligne Lake Cruise which takes you out on the water for the best vantage point. The cruise also takes you to the famous Spirit Island, which is so picture-perfect that you’ve likely seen it on Instagram before.
- Drive the Icefields Parkway – The Icefields Parkway is the super scenic stretch of road that connects Jasper with Lake Louise. There are tons of attractions on the Icefields Parkway including hikes, stunning blue lakes like Peyto Lake, as well as the Columbia Icefield. If you’ve ever wanted to walk on a glacier, you can do that at the Columbia Icefield on this guided hiking tour that takes you onto Athabasca Glacier. If you aren’t much of a hiker, join this bus tour onto the glacier instead – you’ll still stand on the glacier but no hiking is required!
- Explore Maligne Canyon – Located on the edge of Jasper town is the beautiful Maligne Canyon, where you can hike alongside and peer down into the deep canyon. There are also a few bridges you can walk on to really take in the views. In the winter, we highly recommend doing an icewalk in the canyon where you put on ice cleats and explore frozen waterfalls, ice caves, and walk in the middle of the frozen canyon!
- Visit Pyramid Lake – Pyramid Lake is a calm lake that offers reflections of the surrounding mountains including the symmetrical Pyramid Mountain. In the summer you can swim, hike, canoe, and SUP on the lake. In winter, go ice skating or ride in a horse-drawn sleigh. For an extra special treat, spend the night lakeside at the Pyramid Lake Resort.
Where to Stay in Jasper

When compared to Banff (and the dozens of hotels in Banff), there actually aren’t that many to choose from in Jasper. That’s right, accommodation in Jasper is limited, and therefore it’s important to book your stay as far in advance as possible!
Here, I’ve handpicked some of my personal favorite hotels in Jasper suitable for any type of traveler with any type of budget!
Jasper Downtown Hostel (Budget Backpackers) – $
Jasper Downtown Hostel is the best place to stay for those on a tight budget. The central location, shared facilities, and friendly atmosphere make it a great place to stay. They offer budget dorm beds as well as affordable private rooms. Dorms start around $45 CAD per night and private rooms begin at $117 CAD a night.
You can book Jasper Downtown Hostel on either Booking.com here or Hostelworld here.
Whistlers Inn (Moderate Budget) – $$
Whistlers Inn is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a nice escape right in town and only a short walk from popular bars, restaurants, and attractions in Jasper. They also have a rooftop hot tub to relax in after a long day. Room prices start at $199 CAD when you book ahead.
You can check prices and availability online here.
Sunwapta Falls Rocky Mountain Lodge (Moderate to High Budget) – $$
Sunwapta Falls Rocky Mountain Lodge is the perfect place to stay for a wilderness escape in Jasper National Park. Although the lodge is right along the Icefields Parkway, it’s clean, quiet, and surrounded by nature. It’s also right across the road from Sunwapta Falls, so you’ll be able to walk to the viewpoint and hike to the lower falls.
Rooms start at $242 CAD and can accommodate between 2 – 4 adults. You can check prices and availability for Sunwapta Lodge online here.
Pyramid Lake Resort (Luxury) – $$$
Pyramid Lake Resort is beautiful, and it is set in an even more beautiful location! Pyramid Lake is the perfect place for hiking, swimming, kayaking, or even skating in the winter. Pyramid Lake Resort doesn’t cut any corners, and it’s a highly-rated hotel. It’s also a popular place to stay for those visiting Jasper on a honeymoon!
But despite being so luxurious, you can find awesome deals. We’ve seen prices as low as $162 CAD a night when you book ahead online!
Renting a Car in Alberta

If you’re arriving in Alberta via plane then I can’t recommend getting a rental car enough. Canada is a large country and traveling between cities and even just getting out to some of the best places to visit in Alberta requires transport. Although you can use public transport, on some occasions, it means your trip will not only require more time but more planning.
Renting a car will definitely make exploring all of the fun things to see and do in Alberta easier.
Car rental in Canada isn’t super cheap, but it isn’t overly expensive either, especially if you get a budget car. The cheapest car with pickup and drop-off in different locations is around $100 CAD per day. The price does vary though depending on the time of year and the type of car that you rent. For car rentals, I use the website DiscoverCars.com. It’s a search engine with lots of deals with good customer service. In fact, I’ve used them all over the world including in Chile, New Zealand, and Australia. Read our honest review of Discover Cars here for more details!
Another popular option is to rent a campervan or motorhome (only for the brave in winter). Using Motorhome Republic you can search hundreds of deals across multiple companies to pick a great vehicle and the cheapest price. Having a motorhome is a stunning way to see Canada, and you can often camp for free or very cheap in the most beautiful places imaginable! Check out my review of Motorhome Republic here for tips before you book.
Thanks for reading!

If you’re visiting Sunwapta Falls, you’re in for a treat! The viewpoint is absolutely stunning and super easy to access. And the hike to the lower falls is also really enjoyable. We’ve stopped here multiple times when driving along the Icefields Parkway and couldn’t recommend it more!
We hope this guide to Sunwapata Falls has made planning your trip that much easier. If you’re traveling through other areas of the country, be sure to check out my blog about Canada here! Below, I’ve selected a few articles that might come in handy.
