It's a big river – Nahanni National Park

VirginiaF alls Nahanni River Northwest Territories

Virginia Falls on the South Nahanni River

The postcard shot of the falls, taken at the portage end point, just before launching. 3 plane loads of gear and passengers about to be stuffed into 3 little rafts.

The park literature says the falls are 90m high, which is a lot, twice as high as Niagara Falls. I like how the water and light splits around Mason Rock, one of the few features NOT named for a person whose trip down river ended in disaster.
