Wells Gray Provincial Park

yay our first park, now the trip is starting. Left our overnight stop on Orchard Lake rd - actually had quite a good view, and drove to Clearwater. After a little wander around the small farmers market, and a look at Dutch lake there was a panic about not finding the pipe for emptying the vans waste, thankfully a drive back to Kamloops was avoid by finding it in a different compartment an hour later . After a stop at the parks info centre and use of their free wifi, it was a 42 km drive into the park to nab us a site at the Pyramid campground. After a quick lunch (yum bread brought at farmers market), it was shoes on ready to explore. 16.5 km and 3.45 hrs later we returned to the camp after ticking off Dawson Falls, The Mushbowl and the south rim trail for viewing of Helmcken Falls. At 141 meter drop, Heimcken falls is the 4th largest in Canada, and it was certaintly an impressive site and very scary as this wasn't the main viewing side so there are no guard rails only a sheer drop to the river below, the stomach was definitely churning standing close to the edge. Also discovered why everyone complains about the mossies, they are bad😣Leer más
