Some have said so and I won't argue with them. It's certainly the most scenic and dramatic I've been to. Princess Louisa Inlet sits near the end of Jervis Inlet about 40 miles into the B.C. Coast Range. It's guarded by Malibu Rapids whose tidal currents run to 9 knots so entry and exit for a sailboat is limited to at or near slack tide. The inlet is surrounded by five-to-eight thousand foot mountains on all sides. They are covered with snow and glaciers whose melt off in the spring results in dozens of waterfalls cascading thousands of feet down the cliffs. At the end is Chatterbox Falls (shown in the picture)whose final drop is 120 feet. Anchoring depths can be problematic as the water is very deep for the most part right up to the base of the cliffs. We anchored in 16 feet in the runoff at the base of the falls and were held off shore for three days by the current. Fabulous. Erle Stanley Gardner writes of Princess Louisa Inlet: "There is a calm tranquillity which stretches from the smooth surface of the reflecting water straight up into infinity. The deep calm of eternal silence is only disturbed by the muffled roar of throbbing waterfalls as they plunge down from the sheer cliffs. There is no scenery in the world that can beat it. Not that I've seen the rest of the world. I don't need to. I've seen Princess Louisa Inlet." Gary Wyngarden S/V Wanderlust h37.5
