Weeping Wall, Jasper National
Park.
Weeping Wall Water Fall is located
next to the Jasper Park Highway
119m
South of the Town of
Jasper
and approximately
94K
North of Lake Louise. There is small
parking lot on the West side of the
highway along the
North Saskatchewan River
where you can view the falls from.
Weeping Wall is absolutely beautiful
in the winter when it is frozen.
This frozen water fall is fed by a
spring higher up on the mountain
that never stops. The entire cliff
face continually freezes into a
beautiful blue wall of ice. It is
considered one of the best Ice
climbs in the world. During the
winter months you can view ice
climbers climbing the various routes
on the frozen ice walls. Weeping Wall stays
frozen late into the spring due to
it's canyon location that lacks sunlight.
The initial cliff and water fall is
only 1/3 of the mountains elevation.
There are several benches and more
falls located higher above out of
sight from the viewing area. The
Saskatchewan Glacier,
Nigel Pass,
Wilcox Pass,
Parker Ridge,
Hilda Ridge,
Hilda Glacier,
Boundary Lake
hikes and
Castleguard
Mountain Alpine Climb are located near here.
You are in
Bear country.
