Weeping Wall

Nature
The Weeping Wall is a prominent line of cliffs at the western base of Cirrus Mountain in northern Banff National Park, Alberta, along the Icefields Parkway near Jasper National Park. Rising about 1,000 feet, it is both a striking mountain feature and a well-known climbing area in the Canadian Rockies. In spring and summer, water fans over the rock in cascading falls that give the wall its name. In winter, those falls freeze into towering pillars and broad ice sheets, making the site one of the region's noted places for ice climbing. Its height, roadside access, and dramatic seasonal changes make it a distinctive landmark.
