Brandywine Falls Provincial Park

Brandywine Falls Provincial Park in British Columbia lies along Highway 99 between Garibaldi and Whistler and is known for Brandywine Falls, a 70-metre drop on Brandywine Creek. The waterfall was shaped by volcanic and glacial forces: the creek plunges over a basalt lava flow, and after the Fraser Glaciation receded about 10,000 years ago, meltwater eroded softer material beneath the hardened rock to create the falls. The name Brandywine is linked either to a wager between railway surveyors or to an 1890s drinking story. In the early 1900s the area had a train station and log cabins, and today it remains a popular stop for its scenery and accessible viewpoint.
