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 seventh falls are encountered about 1.4 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 seventh and final of the unnamed waterfalls encountered along the creek can be seen in tandem with the sixth fall from downstream, but the trail rises and passes the falls near the rim of the canyon, rather than at stream level, so few see this one up close. It is possible to scramble down into the canyon to both the top and bottom of this waterfall.
