Crypt Falls, 175-meter waterfall in Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada.
Crypt Falls cascades down a limestone cliff face through multiple tiers, creating a vertical drop that measures 175 meters in the Canadian Rockies.
The waterfall resides within Waterton Lakes National Park, which received its national park designation in 1895 as part of Canada's early conservation efforts.
Indigenous peoples of Canada have maintained connections to this land for generations, incorporating the waterfall and surrounding landscape into their traditional territories.
Visitors reach the waterfall via the Crypt Lake Trail, which requires sturdy hiking boots and sufficient water supplies for a full-day excursion.
The waterfall's flow patterns change significantly throughout the seasons, with peak water volume occurring during the spring snowmelt period.
