Similkameen Falls

[citation needed] Similkameen Falls actually resembles a major series of rapids more than a waterfall.

At the end of the chute, the river plunges powerfully into a deep pool in a punchbowl form.

After exiting the deep pool the first drop plunges into, the falls continue on as a consistent series of major rapids.

The rapids do not go on for long though, as the river soon emerges from the other end of the canyon where it once again resumes a much calmer state.

[3] The uppermost portions are hidden from that point since the falls bend about 45 degrees shortly below the first drop, and as a result can only be viewed from the edge of the canyon on the north side of the river.

Although only the bottom half of the falls can be seen, quick but good glimpses of the falls can be had for people driving down the section of the highway pictured here.
