waterfallswest.com - Waterfalls of the western U.S.A. and Canada

Open up your box of sunshine.
Smile as the water comes falling down on you.
You feel like a smart guy.
Do you know why
Everything's so blue?
(from "I Collide" by Jars of Clay - liberties taken)

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 and Hawaii. From Canada, I have pics from British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. I currently have pictures of over 400 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.
