World of Waterfalls Blog

…it didn’t take long before we went right into the weather… It was as if Mother Nature couldn’t decide how miserable she wanted to make our day…

Apikuni Falls was perhaps the most striking waterfall that I was able to get close to during our visit to Glacier National Park. Not bad considering that I actually hadn’t planned…

Swiftcurrent Falls was a waterfall that we didn’t realize was a major waterfall in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park. In fact, we had initially lumped it in with the other waterfalls…

The Many Glacier Waterfalls page is where I’m putting a bunch of the waterfalls that we’ve noticed and photographed while visiting the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park…

Lower Bertha Falls was the last Canadian waterfall that we saw during our September 2010 trip. What Julie and I enjoyed most about this excursion were the views of Waterton Lake as well as the…

Cameron Falls was a pretty easy waterfall to visit considering it was pretty much right in the town of Waterton. Although we were able to view the falls from its well developed…

Blackiston Falls (or Blakiston Falls – I’ve seen it spelled both ways) was a waterfall that Julie and I hadn’t planned on seeing. Fortunately for us, we noticed it on a topographic map…

Sunwapta Falls is another one of those waterfalls that we remembered more for its backdrop than the falls itself. In fact, I easily got this confused with Athabasca Falls…

Lower Sunwapta Falls is actually a series of three waterfalls (at least that’s what I believe I saw) further downstream of the well-signed and well-visited Sunwapta Falls…

Silverton Falls is a relatively quiet and fairly unknown waterfall within the boundaries of Banff National Park. At least it certainly seemed that way to us as we only saw a couple…

Tangle Falls was a delicate multi-tiered cascade that we just happened to see following a rather unusual snowstorm (unusual in that it was still technically Summer when it happened)…

Bridal Veil Falls was a pretty tall multi-tiered cascade said to have a cumulative drop of some 1200ft. I had doubts about that gaudy height figure because I was only able to see something on the…

Panther Falls was what Julie and I thought of as the mysterious neighbor to Bridal Veil Falls. While Bridal Veil had a signpost and was quite easy to see from the large pullout…

I’m putting “Sideways Falls” or “Big Bend Falls” in quotes because I believe that these are informal names this fairly conspicuous waterfall that can be spotted right off…

The Weeping Wall apparently pertained to a particular wall where supposedly many waterfalls could be coming down at once under the right conditions. Well, as you can see from…

The Maligne Canyon Waterfalls (pronounced “muh-LEEN”) are the waterfalls that can be found within the depths of Maligne Canyon. Julie and I did a real straightforward…

Overlander Falls is a short but wide gushing waterfall on the Fraser River. This was another one of those waterfalls that we hadn’t planned on seeing going into our September…

Rearguard Falls was another one of those unplanned waterfalls that we happened to chance upon thanks to its conspicuous sign right off the Hwy 16. This waterfall was more like a wide series…

Thunder Falls is a waterfall I noticed across Moose Lake while motoring along Hwy 16. I almost dismissed this waterfall as one of those dime-a-dozen cascades you normally chance upon…

Dawson Falls, which Julie likes to refer to it as “Dawson’s Creek Falls” because of the TV show she used to watch, was a wide river-type waterfall said to be on the Murtle River. Due to its broad…
