Alexander Falls

Squamish-Lillooet D, British Colombia, BC V0N 1B1

The basics

Alexander Falls is a common stop-off for travelers visiting the nearby Whistler Olympic Park. There is a drive-in lookout at the top of the falls, making it easily accessible to visitors who want spectacular views without having to embark on a lengthy hike. If you do want more adventure, there is a trail leading to the base of the falls, though it is only passable during winter. You’ll need snowshoes and a brave disposition to make it to the base; there are steep sections that make this trail unsuitable for beginners or children.

When to get there

If you want to view the falls when flowing, go in late spring or early summer, when the high volume of water—the result of the seasonal snowmelt—creates a dramatic cascade. For snowshoeing opportunities, the winter months (December–March) are best.
