Lower Bertha Falls
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…
Blackiston Falls
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…
Cameron Falls
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…
Sunwapta Falls
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
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
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…
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…
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…
Bow Falls
Bow Falls was a wide river waterfall situated in the backside of the town of Banff. Given how relatively easy it was to visit this waterfall, it was the first one we saw during our September 2010…
