Brandywine Falls

The last of the three falls near Whistler was as spectacular as the other two.  Brandywine Falls got their name from a bet made between two men.  They bet a bottle of brandy that would be given to the person who guessed the height of the falls.  They then named it Brandywine.

These falls are more like the Niagara Falls are - they fall straight down.  A long way down.

We hiked about 1/2 mile to the falls, and on the way we met a Swiss honeymoon couple.  They were so nice!  They told us their guide had mentioned to them that they should stare at the falls and then look at the amphitheater wall next to it.  We did . . . and were amazed that the wall swiveled and moved like crazy.  What a wild sensation.
