Takkakaw Falls

Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada.

The initial plunge strikes a ledge which directs the flow outward from the cliff resulting in a spectacularly messy waterfall (Note 1). Because of its separation from the cliff, cross winds have a big impact. I also did video, which shows that the heavy wind-driven mist (Note 2) is actually moving upward. Total height of falls is 384 meters (1260 feet).
