Waterfalls with only one drop will have the total height of the waterfall repeated here. The Tallest Drop figure represents the height of the largest single drop within a multi-stepped waterfall. Waterfalls with only one drop will of have the height of only the single drop listed here. Stream between two tiers of a waterfall is counted in its overall height regardless of whether or not that section of the stream would be legitimately considered a waterfall on its own right, were it to be isolated. The Total Height listed for the waterfall represents the difference in elevation from the top of the uppermost drop, to the bottom of the lowermost drop of the waterfall, including all stretches of interstitial stream in between. This information may be changed at any given time to ensure accuracy. While we try to ensure this information is as accurate as possible, sometimes it will prove necessary to either estimate or flat out guess at certain characteristics where either enough information isn't readily available, is not known, or we were not able to confirm a given trait upon surveying. The information presented in this table is meant to help identify and clarify the physical aspects of the waterfall for comparative purposes. If you wish to scramble to the base of the falls, stay on the left side of the creek. Large pullouts are found on either side of the highway. Location & Directionsįalls Creek is crossed (no sign) by Highway 1 about 19 km south of Lytton (about 1 1/2 km south of the Jackass Summit). But until those pesky trees either fall down or are blown apart by wind storms or rock falls, visitors have to settle for fleeting peeks between branches. Its not every day you find a 300 foot waterfall which can be seen without getting out of your car. If the clear views of the falls were there, especially from right along the road, this would be both a very scenic and rather impressive waterfall. We'll have to wait for a particularly violent storm to blow through and topple a few of the trees before this one opens up to better vantages.įalls Creek Falls is the Unofficial name of this waterfall. Almost the entire length of the cascade is partially visible from the highway, but even if the trees were stripped of all their leaves and needles, there would be too much obstruction for clear photographs. ![]() Its possible to scramble up the steep talus slope to the very bottom of the falls, from which angle only the very bottom of the falls can be seen due to foreshortening. Unfortunately, the presence of the falls and the shape of the canyon have allowed several large trees of various species to grow between the falls and the Highway, resulting in the waterfall being almost entirely obstructed from view from below. ![]() Falls Creek flows off the west side of Jackass Mountain and plunge over the side of the Fraser Canyon in an alcove carved into the basaltic bedrock, dropping 331 feet in four major tiers. Detailed InfoĮven though the climate of the Fraser Canyon is largely dry, the geology of the area would dictate there to be at least a few waterfalls of substantial size. This waterfall has been surveyed in person by the World Waterfall Database. ![]()
