A Guide to the Waterfalls of British Columbia

A unique Guide to the Waterfalls of British Columbia appeared in Canada. The encyclopedia is based on research that has been for 12 years carried out by Tony Greenfield from the province. Tony visited the most remote, most inaccessible waterfalls. He arranged information about 253 waterfalls, including Hunlen Falls, near Bella Coola and Helmcken Falls, Wells Gray Provincial Park. The only waterfall that the traveler did not manage to get too was Cariboo Falls in the centre of British Columbia. Some of the waterfalls mentioned in the guide have already disappeared: they went dry during dam constructions and for other reasons.

The Canadian traveler has some “followers”, who founded World-Waterfalls.com, the first international database of waterfalls. The waterfalls mentioned on the site are divided by four different grading systems: by scenery, absolute magnitude, visual magnitude and Beisel Waterfall Ranking.
