About This Waterfall

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 sixth falls being found about 1.3 kilometers along the trail.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 sixth waterfall encountered along the creek plunge 23 feet over an undercut cliff into a huge deep blue pool at the bottom of a bowl shaped amphitheater. This fall and the seventh waterfall, found just upstream, can be seen in tandem from the primary viewing areas along the rim of the canyon.The kayaking community has dubbed this waterfall Lumbarsis.
