caption_attribution_description: Athabasca River, along the Icefields Parkway, in Jasper National Park. This is NOT the Athabasca River in Jasper but the SUNWAPTA RIVER. The Sunwapta River joins the Athabasca further downstream and THEN the Athabasca runs parallel to HWY 93.
context_page_description: Alberta's rivers flow towards three different bodies of water, the Arctic Ocean, the Hudson Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Alberta is located immediately east of the continental divide, so no rivers from Alberta reach the Pacific Ocean.
context_section_description: Albertan rivers in the Arctic Ocean watershed are drained through Great Slave Lake and Mackenzie River, except for Petitot River which is drained through Liard River directly into the Mackenzie River, thus bypassing the Great Slave Lake.
