Cerberus Falls

Cerberus Falls drops 475 meters through multiple segments, creating distinct water flows that cascade from the Southwest Lyell Glacier into Icefall Canyon.

The waterfall received its name from Greek mythology's three-headed guardian of the underworld, reflecting its typical formation of three separate water streams.

Local outdoor enthusiasts frequent the falls between May and October, following established trails that wind through British Columbia's mountain landscapes.

Access requires navigation from Trans-Canada Highway via forest service roads, with a mandatory crossing of Icefall Brook using a log footbridge.

The falls rank as Canada's eighth tallest confirmed waterfall and hold the record for the country's highest single vertical drop.
