James Bruce Falls

James Bruce Falls, in Princess Louisa Marine Provincial Park in British Columbia, drops from a small snowfield high above Princess Louisa Inlet and is widely regarded as the highest measured waterfall in North America and the ninth tallest in the world. Its waters fall about 840 metres, or 2,760 feet, in two parallel streams cascading down the mountainside. Because both streams come from the same snowfield, the flow varies through the year and often dries up in hot summers. After the main drop, the water enters Loquilts Creek and reaches the inlet through Chatterbox Falls, adding to the drama of one of coastal British Columbia’s striking fjord settings.
