Athabasca Falls

Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park is just 23 metres high. However, it is not known for its height. Instead it is known for the force of the falling water due to the quantity of water flowing. Even on a cold morning in the fall, copious amounts of water flow over the falls. A layer of hard quartzite has allowed the falls to cut into the softer limestone below carving the short gorge and a number of potholes.
Schaeumend!


The gorge.

Wow - what a big boy. A Black Bear.

The Black Bear (Ursus americanus), also known as the North American black bear or the American black bear is the most common bear species native to North America. In the mid 1990s, the population of black bears was estimated to have grown to between 396,000 and 476,000 in Canada.
