Athabasca Valley glacier sheared of hard rock to cause a cliff and the glacial stream whittled away rocks to form the canyon. As glacier receded, Athabasca river which originates at the Columbia ice field flowed through this narrow gorge and fell ~ 23m over a cliff causing a class 5 water fall. Athabasca means ‘there are plants one after another’ in Wood Cree. The water of Athabasca river changes according to season depending on the type of rock flour in the water, which reflects different wavelengths of light.

Athabasca Falls Hike
From the parking lot, the Athabasca falls hike is of ~ 1 km long. The trail is paved and there are concrete bridges over the gorge. Walk along the interpretive trail which explains the science of the water colour, how the canyon was formed and flaura & fauna in the area. Cross the bridge and walk down the stairs to see the gorge caused by the river.

Target : Traveling around the world

Travel reminds those paying attention that they are not the only man in the world, that this is a huge world and that they are only a small, insignificant human in it. This is quite a leisure experience – to go to another country or another state and see large numbers of peoples living differently, and coming to understand how large the world actually is. When people who learn return home, they keep with them this perspective for the rest of their life and they benefit from this is knowledge and perspective.

Another benefit to traveling is coming to see one’s native country in a different light, in a different way. This is done through being able to compare and contrast home from a foreign location, done most always through traveling. A new perspective may be formed
