Canim Falls and lava flows.

Canim Falls is a 23 metre high waterfall on the Canim River between Canim Lake and Mahood Lake in Wells Gray Provincial Park in the Cariboo region of the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada. The waterfall has eroded steadily upstream and created a 4 km (2.5 mi) long canyon cut into a lava plateau associated with the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field.

A trail from Mahood Lake Road leads to Canim Falls and nearby Mahood Falls.

"Canim" means a type of large canoe in the Chinook Jargon.
