The freezing temperatures created a perfect snow cone in the Helmcken Falls
The Helmcken Falls are one of the most powerful falls on Earth and one of the most beautiful in North America. However, this natural wonder becomes more special during the winter season. The freezing temperatures create the perfect environment for an incredible 200-feet tall snow cone to develop and impress anyone who sees it.
A snow cone forms when water from the falls creates a wall of ice at the base in the shape of an upside-down ice cone. The more the water falls, the more the cone grows. According to most tourist agencies, the best time to see this phenomenon is between January and March each year.
