A drive along any BC highway or hike along any BC trail will put Hamilton to shame, we just don't need to advertise it here. While Hamilton may have 121 waterfalls, in any area in BC they are countless. I would suspect that Quebec would whop Hamilton's bum too.

If you read more carefully i say any stretch of highway or trail I think anyone who has driven or hiked in BC can testify just how many countless waterfalls there are. The drive between Lillooet and Pemberton, waterfalls every few hundred meters along the side of the road, the same is true for the Fraser Canyon, the Western half of the Thompson Canyon, etc... It is simple math, an area that receives lots of snow and rain with many hills and mountains by nature will have more waterfalls. But i guess BC, Quebec, and the Yukon, along with other various areas in Canada will let Hamilton have its bottle.

^Chillax man. Having 121 waterfalls within city limits is impressive. I'm sure that destroys any other urban centre in Canada or even NA.

Canada is such a beautiful country. It's just too bad that we are so divided and polarized as a nation.

I haven't really photographed that many of Hamilton's waterfalls, mostly just the ones around Dundas and Ancaster.

I've been to those falls before

Is that the one with a zip-line across the top or is it the other waterfall in Quebec?
