Beauty Creek Falls 5

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 1.2 kilometers 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 fifth waterfall encountered along the creek is the smallest of the eight major waterfalls along the Beauty Creek trail, cascading 11 feet down a pitched flume-like formation at the bottom of a 50 foot deep section of the gorge. This is the most difficult fall to see as well, since the falls are more or less directly below the rim of the canyon.
