British Columbia Waterfalls span this mountainous province from its wet temperate climate in the west shared with our Pacific Northwest across the border to the Canadian Rockies dominating its mountainous east side bordered with Alberta. In BC, there's a dynamic range of lifestyles and landscapes from the cosmopolitan coastal city of Vancouver to more rural back-to-nature places near waterfalls like Clearwater. It's got world class skiing at Whistler Mountain as well as the lovely Victoria Island.But our experience so far has been limited to the eastern side of the province encompassing the Yoho National Park area of the Canadian Rockies as well as the tranquil yet waterfall-laced valley north of Clearwater. Yet despite our limited waterfalling experience in this province, it did encompass some of the more memorable waterfalls we've seen in North America. Among these included the towering Takakkaw Falls, the gushing Helmcken Falls, the wide Wapta Falls, the precipitous Spahats Falls, and even the lovely and unusual Natural Bridge. We do expect to return to British Columbia for more waterfalling visits so our survey of what we've seen so far will surely be augmented in the near future...
