finding hidden waterfalls

Finding hidden waterfalls in British Columbia is one of the most rewarding outdoor adventures you can experience — especially when you pair it with a quality live hash rosin dab and a sunny BC afternoon. In this clip, I loaded up on Tropicana Cherry Live Hash Rosin from Clsics, opened Google Maps, and headed out to track down Paradise Falls. Was it easy? Not exactly. Was it worth it? Absolutely.

Finding Hidden Waterfalls: The Paradise Falls Hunt

Waterfall hunting BC style means embracing the unexpected. Trails disappear, GPS signals get sketchy, and sometimes what looks like a short hike turns into a full expedition. This clip captures one of those moments — a stoned wander through the bush with a mission: find the waterfall marked on the map and make it back before sundown.

Paradise Falls is one of those hidden waterfall locations that rewards patience. It’s not a tourist hot-spot with a paved path. You’ve got to earn it, and that makes the payoff so much sweeter when you finally hear the rush of water through the trees.

5 Tips for Finding Hidden Waterfalls in BC

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just getting into waterfall exploration Canada style, these tips will help you find the falls that don’t show up on tourist maps.

  • Use satellite view on Google Maps — zoom into creek lines and look for elevation drops. That’s where waterfalls hide.
  • Check AllTrails reviews for clues — people often mention “a waterfall near the trail” without it being the main attraction.
  • Follow the sound — when you’re close, you’ll hear it before you see it. Stop and listen every 100m.
  • Go after rain — the best waterfalls British Columbia has to offer look incredible when the creeks are running high.
  • Tell someone your plan — always leave a note of your route before heading into the bush solo.

What I Was Dabbing: Tropicana Cherry Live Hash Rosin

For this adventure in chasing waterfalls BC, I was running Tropicana Cherry Live Hash Rosin from Clsics. Full-spectrum, solventless, and absolutely fire. It’s got a sweet citrus-cherry terp profile that pairs perfectly with a sunny hike through the forest. The effect is uplifting and creative — exactly what you want when you’re navigating unmarked trails looking for a hidden waterfall.

I was running it through the Poby L from JCVAP — a portable e-rig that travels well and keeps the flavour clean at lower temps. Great kit for outdoor adventures where you still want a quality dab experience without hauling a big setup.

FAQ: Finding Hidden Waterfalls in BC

What is the best time of year for finding hidden waterfalls in BC?

Spring and early summer are ideal. Snowmelt keeps creeks running strong, and the lush greenery makes the scenery even more spectacular. Late summer can see some falls reduced to a trickle.

Do I need a permit for waterfall hiking in British Columbia?

It depends on the area. Provincial parks require a valid BC Parks pass for parking. Many backcountry trails are free to access, but always check the local land authority before heading out.

Is it safe to hike to hidden waterfall locations alone?

It can be done safely with preparation. Always carry a charged phone, water, snacks, and let someone know your route. Stick to trails when possible and be aware of changing weather — BC mountains can shift quickly.

What apps are best for finding waterfalls in Canada?

Google Maps satellite view, AllTrails, and Gaia GPS are all great. For waterfall-specific discovery, the waterfall exploration Canada community on Reddit (r/britishcolumbia) is a goldmine for local tips.
