Wells Gray Park

 
 
 
So... we spent the whole day in Wells Gray Park, just north of Clearwater. There are many hiking trails to see various water falls. The first is Spahat, quite lovely, a 10 minute hike in. The second was Dawson, looks like a mini Niagara, about a 20 minute hike along the falls. The third that we went to was Helmechen, which was spectacular. The picture doesn't do it justice. I remember hiking to the falls as a little girl (maybe 5) with my parents and 3 older brothers. All I really remember is the mist from the falls and Mum being terrified that Donnie (who was hanging on a branch leaning over the ledge to get a better look!) was going to fall. It turns out that way back then, the only access was a long hike to the "south rim" and now there is access to the "north rim" with a 5 minute walk, much better view and totally fenced edges. As (brother)Don says, where's the fun in that?
