Deep calls to deep
In the roar of your waterfalls;
All your waves and breakers
Have swept over me.
Psalm 42:7

Welcome!

Welcome waterfall lovers! These pages describe all the waterfalls I have seen in the western U.S. and Canada. In the USA, I have waterfall photographs from California, Oregon, Arizona, Washington, Montana, Idaho, New York, Wyoming, Nevada, Alaska, and Hawaii. From Canada, I have pics from British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. I currently have pictures of over 900 waterfalls on these pages. This site is updated frequently, so keep checking back. I hope that this site will help you in planning your own waterfall quests, or you can just enjoy the beauty of God's wonderful creation from your own home.

Note: Waterfalls on my site are organized by region. You can navigate to waterfalls by selecting the regional maps for a state or province on the above menu. If you are looking for a specific waterfall, select the Alphabetical index or use the Search function. For more information click here.

Please read my warning and disclaimer before visiting waterfalls found on my website.

Google/Facebook login

Mar 18, 2024. You can now use Google or Facebook to login to my website. You do not need to create an account on waterfallswest if you do not want to (but you still can if you wish). You will still need to make a payment for a subscription to access all paid location data information on my website. If you have a paid account already you can still use Google/FB login and your accounts will automatically be synced but ONLY if your email is the same. You must first update your email in your legacy account before logging into Google/FB. Please read more about this on my frequently asked questions page.

In addition, I have added weather forecasts to each waterfall page. Click the button above the map and a 3 day forecast will display for that waterfall location. In addition, I updated the elevation profile for waterfall hikes to make them better, and also, I made it easier to rank each waterfall and these will now show up in Google Search results! Please help out and rank all the waterfalls you have visited over the years. If you will take the time to rank all the waterfalls you have visited then I will give you 3 months free of a paid subscription. If you have a paid account I will extend your expiry date by 3 months, and if you do not currently have a paid account I will still give you 3 months free. It only takes two mouse clicks on each page to rank the waterfall. Thank you!
