Mystery Falls

The falls are best seen from two locations. Easiest is a gravel quarry on the east side of Highway 99, about 5 1/3 km south of the Rutherford Creek Hydro facility between Whistler and Pemberton. The road to the quarry is gated, so park along the highway (across the street) and walk up the road into the quarry for about 300 meters to where the falls are visible. The falls are also easily seen from about 2.5 km up the Soo River FSR.Mystery Falls is one of the more significant waterfalls in the Whistler area. The falls, fed by the Mystery Glacier, drop about 330 feet over the lip of the Green River Valley, before cascading 2000 feet to the valley floor. There is a possibility that some of the 2000 foot ancillary drop could be legitimately classified as a waterfall, but it would most likely have to be segregated into a separate entry; the majority of the visible stream below the falls appears to be over steep lengthy talus slopes. The Mystery Glacier as well as a handful of smaller satellite glaciers keep the volume of Mystery Creek consistent through the majority of the year and ensure the falls are visually noteworthy through the dry season.
