Field Waterfalls
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Waterfalls in Field, British Columbia.
Whiskey Jack Falls
Found just before Takakkaw Falls, Whiskey Jack Falls is a 70-m-tall (200 ft) waterfall. It is a thin waterfall best viewed from June to October.
Point Lace Falls
Stretching about 9 m (30 ft) in length, this curtain-style waterfall softly tumbles down a layered wall. It is about 14 m (45 ft) high and is fed by Duchesnay Lake. The falls can be found a few kilometers from Takakkaw Falls, along the Yoho Valley trail.
Yoho Gorge Falls
Just below the area where the Little Yoho River and Twin Falls Creek come together, the Yoho River forcefully pushes through a small gap in the wall face creating Yoho Gorge Falls. The rushing waters of this waterfall plunge down 9 m (30 ft).
Laughing Falls
Located along the Little Yoho River and about 4 km (2.5 mi) from Takakkaw Falls is Laughing Falls. This plunging waterfall is only 30 m (100 ft) high and about 5 m (16 ft) wide but spurts mightily out of a gorge on the mountain wall.
Twin Falls
Plummeting down a 180-m-tall (590 ft) limestone cliff, this cascade is split in two by a jutting rock formation at the top of the wall creating two side-by-side falls. They are entirely fed by Twin Falls Creek at the top and drop down into the Yoho River below.
Kicking Horse Cascade
Just before the Trans-Canada Highway crosses the Kicking Horse River, directly below the road is Kicking Horse Cascade. This is a talus cascade, in which a long section of the river’s water runs down a boulder filled slope.
Hamilton Falls
This small waterfall is located in the Emerald Lake area. It plunges 30.5 m (100 ft) down a slightly hidden and narrow canyon where only the lower part of the falls is visible.
Takakkaw Falls
Takakkaw Falls are located on the north side of the Trans Canada Highway, approximately 2 kilometres east of Field. At upwards of 236 metres, their drop is further than that of Niagara Falls. Takakkaw Falls flows into the Yoho River.
Angel's Staircase Falls
As its name suggests, this waterfall cascades down a wall that has formed a natural staircase. The falls are roughly 305 m (1,000 ft) tall. They are located about 1.6 km (1 mi) north of Takakkaw Falls and can be seen from the Yoho Valley trail.
