Field Waterfalls
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Waterfalls in Field, British Columbia.
Wapta Falls
Although only 30.5 m (100 ft) high, this powerful waterfall pumps out about 255 cubic meters of water into the Kicking Horse River from Wapta Lake. The falls are about 152 m (500 ft) wide, giving it an appearance of a much smaller version of Niagara Falls.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fairy Creek Falls
While trees growing on the rock face obstruct most of this waterfall, it is still partially visible along the Yoho Valley trail, about 4.6 km (2.6 mi) in. The falls are about 305 m (1,000 ft) high and run along the wall face, falling in a series of numerous small drops.
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.
