Too bad the waterfall is almost dry?

I went with my brother and some friends to Waterton National Park in late October. They had not been since a forest fire burned the main valley in August. The summer was very hot and dry, as a consequence the water levels at this waterfall were very low. They apologized for the poor appearance of the falls, much better in spring runoff.

That may very well be true, however I was fascinated by the rock structure and the way the water flowed along the crevices. I will try to go back at peak flow, but this is maybe even better for my eyes

Nicely done.

I really like this one. The water flow is intriguing, makes for a unique waterfall. It would be interesting to see the difference when the falls are at their peak.

Very nice capture. In many ways, as you mention, this may be more interesting as it's unique in how it flows. Peak may just be your "standard" waterfall

I looked up Cameron Falls in Waterton Park online, at what I suspect is peak flow there is still the cruciate pattern to the flow and the central rock protrudes. Just less rock showing as the streams are much wider. Better? I am not sure.

Well seen and well captured Trevor.

During the "brute force" spring runoff, the waterfalls do tend to look quite majestic and powerful. I really like this capture because it does show what happens at the other end of the spectrum and the more delicate and subtle patterns of the water over the exposed rocks are really quite interesting in their own right.

This subject of the seasonal heavy / light flow of a waterfall could make an interesting photographic study.

While processing this I was kicking myself for not stopping on my way home to shoot some images of the Thompson River Canyon west of Spence's Bridge BC. I have driven this route probably a hundred times and never saw the river this low. So low that the central river canal was exposed as a narrow, torturous cleft, maybe ten metres wide, in the rocks. I may back this way in late March before the spring run off is on full spate. If so, I will try to stop if the light is good. Have to hit the canyon at about 2 pm to get sunlight on the river; could be a logistical nightmare.
