That's the North Saskatchewan River, not the Athabasca.

Edit: u/wpnw helped me to find the exact spot I was, thanks a million! The whole road is stunning, no matter where you stop. Its all equally amazing.

That's nearby to where your picture was taken, but it's several kilometers to the northwest. Look at the shape of the mountain and compare it to your picture - doesn't line up. Your picture is of Mount Wilson, the mountain visible in the streetview link is Mount Amery.

Either way, this is still along the North Saskatchewan River. The Athabasca River is in Jasper National Park - this is in Banff.

Holy smokes, I am so confused right now.
I found another little side road spot I remember stopping at and it aligns perfectly. I am marking this spot, thank you so much for this. I REALLY wanna go back to swim there this summer!

Its my favourite photo from last summer's roadtrip to the rockies, also one of my favourite places on earth. Hoping to go back this summer for camping and hiking some of the peaks.

Can't wait until I visit this place in the summer. Mountains look so gorgeous.
