Takakkaw Falls

Takakkaw Falls (/ˈtækəkɔː/; also spelled Takkakaw[1]) is a waterfall in Yoho National Park, near Field, British Columbia, in Canada.

The falls have a total height of 373 metres (1,224 ft),[1] making them the second tallest waterfall in Canada.

[1] The falls are fed by the meltwater of the Daly Glacier, which is part of the Waputik Icefield.

[1][2] The waterfall was formerly thought to be the tallest in Canada, but a survey in 1985 found that it is actually shorter than Della Falls on Vancouver Island.

[1] The results of that survey also concluded that the main drop of the falls is 254 metres (833 ft) high.
