Alexandra Falls, Waterfall in Northwest Territories, Canada
Alexandra Falls creates a 32-meter vertical drop over a limestone ridge on the Hay River, forming a deep canyon filled with water mist.
The waterfall, discovered during early explorations of the Northwest Territories, stands as the third highest cascade in the region's natural formations.
The Dene people name this location Hatto deh Naili and consider the falls as spiritual entities representing protective grandfather and grandmother figures.
The site features a large parking area, day-use facilities with picnic tables, and a 3-kilometer trail connecting to Louise Falls through a forest.
Professional kayakers Ed Lucero and Tyler Bradt have successfully navigated their vessels over the complete 32-meter vertical drop of Alexandra Falls.
