Sunwapta Falls

Sunwapta means ‘turbulent waters’ in Stoney, which is a very fitting name. Even shortly after exiting your vehicle, you can hear the rushing waters in the distance. As you walk towards the direction of the sound, it gets louder and louder until it’s pretty much the only thing you can hear. Sunwapta Falls is a fairly popular spot for tourists, partially due to it’s beauty but likely more so due to it’s ease of access. It’s so popular in fact that there’s a hotel literally right outside this waterfall so that people can stay near there and access trails and the falls with relative ease. With the Shackle Peak in the background, you can see why so many people love this waterfall.
