Rearguard Falls, Waterfall observation point in Mount Robson Provincial Park, Canada
Rearguard Falls spans 200 feet across the Fraser River, creating a gradual cascade with a 20-foot drop near Tete Jaune Cache.
The falls mark a natural boundary in the Fraser River where Chinook salmon have completed their 1200-kilometer upstream migration for generations.
The park maintains partnerships with Indigenous groups to document and represent the traditional significance of this section of the Fraser River.
Visitors can access the falls through a designated trail system from Highway 16, with safety barriers installed near steep observation points.
The water flow varies seasonally from 840 to 6,050 cubic feet per second, influenced by glacial melt patterns throughout the year.
