Panther Falls, Waterfall in Banff National Park, Canada
Panther Falls descends through three distinct sections along Nigel Creek, reaching a height of 66 meters and a width of 20 meters at its base point.
The waterfall system formed over geological periods as Nigel Creek carved its path through the Parker Ridge section of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Winter transforms the falls into an ice climbing destination where athletes practice mixed climbing techniques on the frozen cascade formations.
Access requires a 1.5-kilometer round trip hike from the shared parking area with Bridal Veil Falls, located along the Icefields Parkway.
The waterfall creates a natural phenomenon where water funnels through rock fractures before projecting outward in a distinct spray pattern.
