Sunwapta Falls is a pair of waterfalls of the Sunwapta River located in Jasper National Park, Alberta. The falls is accessible via a 600-metre access road off the Icefields Parkway, which connects Jasper and Banff National Parks. Wikipedia Province: Alberta
Another beautiful and grand waterfall on the way to Jasper
As well as exploring the Upper Falls - pictured here - also take the time to walk down to the Lower Falls as well, it is definitely worth the trip there and back

The rooms are very worn and were not particularly clean. There was some sort of water damage in our hallway with an active leak through the ceiling.
