Structure
Madden Falls forms as Madden Creek emerges from the northeastern flank of Pelion Mountain and cascades down an especially steep section of the mountain in nine steps. The longest step, measuring 152 m (499 ft) tall, is the 13th tallest single drop of any confirmed waterfall in Canada.[1]
Most of the falls are easily observable from across the Squamish Valley.
