Beauty Creek Falls 4

The Beauty Creek Trail starts at a pullout on the east side of the Icefields Parkway 15-1/2 kilometers north of the Columbia Icefields Center in Jasper National Park. The pullout isn’t marked, so keep watch for either parked cars, or a wooden post marking the trail. Follow the trail across a dike to the old roadbed, then head right until you reach Beauty Creek. The trail climbs briefly and then levels above the gorge, the fourth falls being encountered about one kilometer from the trailhead.Beauty Creek is a waterfall-studded stream which can be found just north of the Columbia Icefields in Jasper National Park. An easy trail follows along the rim of its canyon, passing eight noteworthy waterfalls in 1-1/2 kilometers, making it one of the best bang-for-your-buck hikes along the Icefields Parkway for those seeking out waterfalls. Only the final waterfall along the trail - Stanley Falls - is named, the others we have opted to refer to numerically (for the time being). The fourth waterfall encountered along the creek is more isolated from the others – the first three are grouped closely as are the 5th-7th falls. Here the creek accelerates down a steeply pitched funnel and plunges 22 feet into a deep blue pool in somewhat of a outwardly spreading nature.
