Sandcut Beach Waterfall
The Sandcut Beach Waterfall was a modestly-sized 10-15ft tall set of waterfalls spilling right onto a pebbly beach before the Sandcut Creek ultimately rejoined the Strait of Juan de Fuca…
Goldstream Falls
Goldstream Falls (also called the Upper Goldstream Falls) was a small waterfall that seemed more suitable for playing (as evidenced by some sand toys left creekside during my visit) as well as…
“Goldstream Niagara Falls” (Niagara Falls)
“Goldstream Niagara Falls” seemed to us to be a rather obscure waterfall, which was surprising because it was barely a quarter-mile from a busy highway and it was within the Goldstream Provincial…
Shannon Falls
Shannon Falls was one of the tallest waterfalls in British Columbia at 335m tall (said to be the third tallest in the province behind Della Falls and Hunlen Falls) and certainly one of the…
Alexander Falls
Alexander Falls surprised us with its size and volume as it was a waterfall that we hadn’t planned on visiting until I accidentally came across it while researching other waterfalls along the Sea…
Brandywine Falls
Brandywine Falls was one of the major waterfalls that we encountered while driving the popular Sea to Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler, and it was well worth the stop. This very popular…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Wapta Falls
Wapta Falls was a wide river-type waterfall that pleasantly surprised Julie and I though we did get into a little bit of an adventure just trying to find it. In any case, it’s said to be 30m high…
