If you find yourself canoeing, tubing, floating, or otherwise progressing down the Murtle River in Wells Gray Provincial Park,
British Columbia, be cautious. Otherwise you’ll drop off The Mushbowl, Dawson Falls, Majerus Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Meadow
Falls, and McDougall Falls.
But they were just practice for 141 m (463 ft) Helmcken Falls, the 4th highest falls in Canada measuring straight drop.

Helmcken Falls wasn’t discovered until July 24, 1913 by a surveyor laying out homestead lots.
It was named for John Sebastian Helmcken, a physician with the Hudson's Bay Company who arrived in Victoria in 1850.
He helped bring British Columbia into Canadian Confederation in 1871.
