Weeping Wall, Vertical cliff face in Banff National Park, Canada

The Weeping Wall is a set of cliffs about 300 metres high at the western base of Cirrus Mountain in northern Banff National Park, just south of the Jasper National Park boundary. In spring and summer, cascading waterfalls run down the faces; in winter, these freeze into towering pillars of ice.

The Weeping Wall lies at the western base of Cirrus Mountain in northern Banff National Park, just south of the Jasper National Park boundary. The cliffs rise about 1,000 feet (305 m) beside Highway 93, the Icefields Parkway. The Swedish Wikipedia gives the elevation as 1,884 metres above sea level, in a valley setting with no settlements nearby.

In winter the frozen waterfalls become a well-known ice-climbing site, with towering pillars of ice forming on the cliff faces. In spring and summer the same faces are usually covered by a series of cascading waterfalls, so the wall is read differently by climbers and by passing drivers on Highway 93.

A designated pullout on Highway 93 provides easy access to view the wall without requiring a long hike. The site is accessible year-round from the road, though spring snowmelt and winter ice formation offer the most dramatic views.
