Silverton 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

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

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

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…

“Sideways Falls” (“Big Bend Falls”)

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…

Weeping Wall

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…

Maligne Canyon Waterfalls

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

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

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

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

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…

Helmcken Falls

Helmcken Falls is probably the most famous of the waterfalls we’ve seen in the Wells Gray Provincial Park. It seemed like tour buses would routinely stop here and off load their busloads…

Spahats Falls

Spahats Falls (I’ve also seen it referred to as Spahats Creek Falls) is a tall waterfall pouring out of a narrow hanging gorge and into a wider gorge. It’s said to be 60m in height, but one thing…

Moul Falls

Moul Falls was actually one waterfall that we had to work a little to see. Unlike the other three waterfalls we saw in the Wells Gray Provincial Park, we had to hike about 5.8km round trip…

Athabasca Falls

Athabasca Falls was memorable to us because it featured a pretty mountain backdrop. The falls itself wasn’t particularly mindblowing, but it possessed enough power to carve out a bit of a gorge…

Bow Glacier Falls

Bow Glacier Falls was the waterfall draining the rapidly receding Bow Glacier, which fed the pretty Bow Lake. Keep in mind that this was not the same waterfall as Bow Falls by the town of Banff…

Hamilton Falls

Hamilton Falls was a waterfall that I visited out of convenience since I was already determined to check out the beautiful Emerald Lake nearby. In a way, it provided a nice excuse…

Natural Bridge

Natural Bridge is an attraction that I’m deeming to be a waterfall attraction because the Kicking Horse River actually disappears before re-emerging through the natural span…

Takakkaw Falls

Takakkaw Falls was probably my favorite waterfall of our September 2010 Canadian Rockies trip. It’s said to drop majestically some 258m in total height with even a waterwheel near its top…

Johnston Canyon Waterfalls

The Johnston Canyon Waterfalls are what I’m designating to be the many waterfalls found within Johnston Canyon itself. Even though the signage here indicated that there were two…
