Canadians have many natural wonders with enough lakes, mountains and rivers to explore fora lifetime. Here are some of the best waterfalls in Canada.
Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, Ontario
Niagara Falls are the most famous waterfalls in Canada. They are actually made up of three different falls, with Horseshoe Falls being the only one located on the Canadian side. Different viewing choices are available including the Hornblower boat cruise(游船). In 2007, the base of the falls was referred to as “World’s End” in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park, British Columbia
Bridal Veil Falls are located in the east of Chilliwack, British Columbia, and really do look like their name, with water gently pouring over smooth rock. An easy 15-minute walk to the falls takes you through rich leaves. Picnic tables are available, and there are lots of chances for viewing wild plants and animals along the way.
Takakkaw Falls
Yoho National Park, British Columbia
Takakkaw Falls are the second-highest waterfalls in Canada. After a drive up a wandering road, these falls are only a short hike from the parking lot. Even though the falls can be seen from far away, the wonderful up-close views, impressive sound and cold mist provide an awe-inspiring (使人敬畏的)sensory experience.
Virginia Falls
Nahanni National Park Reserve, Northwest Territories
Coming in at twice the height of Niagara Falls, Virginia Falls are located on the South Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories. Virginia Falls are also called “Nailicho”, which means “big river falling” in the South Slavey language. These falls are very much out-of-the-way, which means they receive only about 1,000 visitors every year.
