Virgnia Falls, Nahanni National Park, Northwest Territories

Virginia Falls (Nailicho), on the South Nahanni River, is twice the height of Niagara.

There's a well maintained portage around the falls, and day trippers can land there to view the scenery.

The South Nahanni River flows 563 km southeast, through scenic mountain valleys and a series of canyons before it reaches the Liard River at Nahanni Butte. This is the route some 600 visitors travel each year.
