I was checking out waterfalls and I came across a 10/10 that didn't have a picture for it. So I do some research but haven't been able to turn up a pic. Francis Falls on Headwall Creek up the Toba Inlet which is an inlet on the mainland roughly parallel to Campbell River (on the island) or about 200km NW from Whistler. There's no roads there, it's about 60km up the inlet (you'd have to take a boat about 120km from Campbell River), and another 75km or so up the creek.
"In over 20 years of international travel and exploration, Headwall Canyon is the most beautiful place I've ever been. You wake up in the morning, look around and think you're on another planet."
"This is really one of the jewels of the planet. I think anyone who comes here is going to put this on their top 3 list of most beautiful places on earth."
"I've traveled the world for 6 years with National Geographic Television and have seen some special places but Headwall is unique. It's as magnificent as anything I've ever seen. A kind of undiscovered Yosemite. A modern day Shangrila."
6,000 foot walls and supposedly a 600m waterfall (which would place it in the Top 10 in THE WORLD except that it's so unknown and remote). One expedition company flies in a few times a year for $3000. Seems to be much like the Cummins Valley in that photos are scarce and the only easy way to get there is by helicopter. Here's the only picture I've found of the area (not the falls).
