Here I made a closeup of one of the many beautiful views of Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park. It was an amazing place to be. Besides the spectaculair views, the sound of the water falling down was just as spectaculair. We could here it roaring from a big distance.
Here's some info I found about Athabasca Falls and the Athabasca river:

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. 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. White water rafting often starts below the falls to travel downstream on the Athabasca River to Jasper, Alberta.

The Athabasca River (French: rivière Athabasca) originates from the Athabasca Glacier of the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. Athabasca Falls, located upstream about 30 km from the Jasper townsite in the national park, is noted for both its ferocious falls and the sound that they produce.

The Athabasca River travels 1500 km before draining into Lake Athabasca, south of Fort Chipewyan and Wood Buffalo National Park. From there, its waters flow north as Slave River into the Great Slave Lake, which discharges through the Mackenzie River system into the Arctic Ocean. The cumulative drainage area is 133,000 km² (at Fort McMurray).
In Cree, the word "Athabasca" means "grass here and there," and the Canadian Heraldic Authority has named Athabaska Herald after the river.
