Takakkaw Falls

Takakkaw Falls is the second highest waterfall in Canada. Takakkaw means "magnificent" in Cree. And it is. We love how the top of it "blasts" off a ledge and down over a thousand feet to finally hit the bottom.

The falls are fed by the Daly Glacier just out of view above, and drop 833 feet (254m) making them one of the highest waterfalls in Canada. The sound is like constant thunder.
