Canim Falls and lava flows.

Canim Falls is a waterfall on the Canim River between Canim and Mahood Lakes in the Cariboo region of the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is approximately 60 feet (18 m) in height as measured in 1968 (an older mapping of it says 80 feet/24m), and is cut into a lava plateau associated with the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field which forms the canyon walls of the Canim River. Canim Falls is inside the boundary of Wells Gray Provincial Park.

"Canim" means a type of large canoe in the Chinook Jargon. Coordinates: 51°52′00″N 120°35′35″W / 51.86667°N 120.59306°W
