Brandywine Falls Provincial Park

Brandywine Falls Provincial Park is a run of the mill park in British Columbia, Canada, found neighboring BC Highway 99 among Garibaldi and Whistler, British Columbia. It is controlled by methods for Sea to Sky Parks for BC Parks. The 70-meter 230 ft falls are masterminded on Brandywine Creek, which has its inspiration in the Powder Mountain Icefield toward the west, and are formed by the lip of a magma stream flanking the west bank of the Cheakamus River. Only downstream of the falls is Daisy Lake. No under four basaltic magma surges of Late Pleistocene age join the vertical dividers encompassing Brandywine Falls.

These Cheakamus Valley basalts are a touch of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, a northwest-southeast chain of volcanoes and related magmas that edge the northern end of the Cascade Volcanic Arc. The magma overflowed stores of chilly till, leftovers, and shake by then cooled making a hard environment safe best completed free unconsolidated material satisfactorily weathered. The ideal conditions for a water fall creation. Following 10,000 years ice from the Fraser Glaciation pulled back from Cheakamus Valley discharging melt water and making Brandywine Creek. This worked its bearing downstream and began to separate the looser material and undercut the hard basalt top layer, making the falls.
