Standing at the base of the waterfall, tourists admire the Virgin Falls in this scenic waterfall picture taken in a transition area of the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Virgin Falls plunges 53 metres or 174 feet in what is known as a fan formation down a steep rock escarpment along the Tofino Creek.
This scene is made all the more beautiful by the rays of sunlight streaming through the trees and sparkling off the falling drops of water. This area where Virgin Falls is located is known as a transition area of the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, meaning that this area can be used to develop sustainable land practices by the local First Nations tribes, but it cannot be changed or damaged in any way. ... continue below the picture...
The Virgin Falls can be accessed by the Tofino Main, which is located at the north end of the Tofino Inlet, about 50km north of Highway 4 at Kennedy Lake.

Standing at the base of these falls would make you feel very small, but they are a glorious sight, and it's a treat just to feel the spray on your face as you glance up.
