Hi everybody! I'm back! Canada was awesome! While traveling through Banff and Jasper, I saw soooo many beautiful waterfalls. I love waterfalls; they fascinate me! I can stare at them for hours. The most impressive fall I saw on my trip, and the most impressive I've ever seen in my life was the Athabasca Falls. It was spectacular! Just out of curiosity, what is your favorite waterfall?
In the Philippines (Mindoro Island), there's a place you can go out in the jungles. You have to go upstream by banka boat along a river, and at the end there's a wide waterfall of about 150' drop. Around the waterfall are touristy things, and they have a sari sari store behind the waters along a walkway! Pretty cool! ("Sari sari" means something like "sundry" or "miscellaneous".)

My favourite waterfall is Powerscourt Waterfall, Co Wicklow, Ireland. If you have ever seen the movie "Excalibur", the main fight scenes are filmed at the bottom of the waterfall.
Of the ones I've seen, I am partial to Multnomah Falls, in Oregon. The whole area around Multnomah Falls, along the Columbia River on the northern border of Oregon, has a stretch of nine or ten miles with at least 20-25 waterfalls, none as high and spectacular as Multnomah, but it's still a very scenic area to visit.

I guess that my favorite waterfall is in the El Yunque rainforest in Puerto Rico (about 15 miles outside of San Juan). It certainly isn't the biggest waterfall in the world, but it is one that you can actually swim under. Of course, since I live here, I might not be completely objective!

My favorite waterfalls are part of the dodim springs near ein gedi in nachal david. It always feels so wonderful getting to them b/c before you can get to them you have to hike for about an hour and a half through the desert before you can get to them. -yafa
athabasca is right up there on my list, along with takaka falls (yoho national bark, b.c., canada). i guess im spoiled though, as i get to go camping in the rockies a couple times a year
