Beautiful falls! When we visited, there were a lot of clouds but the view was spectacular nevertheless...
This place is just beautiful! The Canadians were able to preserve nature for us and the next generations. This is another magnificent place to just marvel at the wonders of nature. Although we stayed just a few minutes, we left the place in a better mood than we were travelling a few minutes before. A must see while you're in Vancouver or travelling to Whistler.
A lovely spot to end an early morning bear hunt. What could be better? Bears a plenty and no people. Go early to enjoy nature as it should be.
Alexander falls is beautiful place! In the middle of forest there it is ! Worth to see it! Perfect place for picnic! Bring camera!!!!
Spouse was reading the map and our directions were not the best. Is further off the highway but so worth it. We stopped at three falls on the way back to Vancouver... All were lovely.
You can only get there by driving south on 99 to the Callahan Valley turn off (right) to wards the Olympic venue. Its a very nice drive and pretty water fall but don't expect Victoria Falls!
Alexander Falls is just south of Whistler off of the main highway (Sea to Sky). If you use Google maps to find the exact location for the turn off from the main highway you will not have any trouble finding it. It was about 20 minutes from Whistler. We arrived around 8:30 am and were hoping to encounter some bears but no such luck. We were the only ones at the Falls; there is no hike to the Falls as they are right by the parking lot (which is good in case you did encounter a bear!). You can not go down to the Falls but the view is great from the observation deck. Alexander Falls is right by the Olympic Village but it does not open until 10 am.
I recommend packing a picnic and spending a bit of time just admiring nature. It was a very beautiful spot even in early fall. We did not spot any wildlife but there are bear warning posted so be aware. There are tables and restrooms on site. We loved it.
Conveniently located just off the highway. The view of the falls is great, but it would be nice to be able to go closer to the water.
After all the reviews that mentioned seeing bears, we were a bit disappointed, but the waterfall was beautiful -- and the short drive off the highway was worth it.
