Helpfulness
Sunwapta ( a native word meaning turbulent) Falls is a waterfall of the Sunwapta River and the water originates from the Athabasca Glacier.The falls have a drop of about 18.5 metres and there are actually upper falls as well as lower falls. The latter ones can be seen when you take a hike a bit further down.

Helpfulness
After tumbling down the upper Sunwapta Falls the river enters a deep dark canyon the water is funneled into a small crevice and then shoots through the mouth of the canyon with a thunderous roar somewhat like a water cannon.

Helpfulness
The water in the stream above the falls seems to be in a boiling frenzy in anticipation of cascading over the falls and shooting through the gorge.

Sunwapta is a Stoney Indian word for "turbulent river". At the falls, the Sunwapta River abruptly changes course from northwest to southwest and plunges in a cloud of spray into a deep canyon.
