Westcliffe Falls is a Complex Ribbon Cascade with water flowing year round. It is located on a Chedoke tributary and has a height of 18 metres (60 feet) and a crest width of 1.8 metres (6 feet).

On the poster "Waterfalls of Hamilton Seasons" (2002), this waterfall was referred to as "Waterfall West of Cliffview Park" because it did not have a proper name yet. Two years later (2004) the name of Westcliffe Falls was assigned by the Hamilton Conservation Authority.

Directions

From Highway 403 take the Aberdeen Avenue exit and travel approximately 1 kilometre until Studholme Road. Turn right onto Studholme Road and then turn left onto Beddoe Drive and follow to Chedoke Civic Golf Course. The waterfall is located beside the steel stairway on the western end of the parking lot to the right of the Lower Cliffview Falls.

gollark: Your actual application code either can't look at revisions very well or has to deal with git for it, and merge conflicts can happen and then your application has to either just shut down and bother the user or try and deal with the stringly typed interfæces of git somehow.
gollark: Lots of these things just dump all notes in a folder of plaintext files and use git for sync/revision control, but I feel like this is a horrible system which is prone to badness.
gollark: minoteaur, coming never, will eventually never include an actual dedicated synchronization engine, to deal with this.
gollark: Currently "my notes" means "the DokuWiki data folder", which is not actually that much use since I can't access it concurrently without breaking things, meaning to make edits I have to suffer the latency back to the main osmarksßservers.
gollark: The memeCLOUD™ is part of the part of my data collection which gets synchronized onto most of my available stuff, which includes my notes, archived webpages/PDFs, various public content, ebooks, and music, but *not* video media.
