The next stop is Wells Gray National Park, which has quite a few waterfalls and lakes. What's interesting here is that there is only one road that ends in a cul-de-sac at a lake, so you can't just drive through. Overall, I didn't find it very crowded here - a pleasant change.
The first stop on the way to my campsite, which is almost exactly in the middle, was Dawson Fall, which is practically right next to the campsite. You could see the waterfall from both sides and even stand right next to the river.
The next waterfall was really impressive because the river has eroded a lot of the lava rock here, causing the water to fall into a kind of pot. There is also the possibility to walk to the edge, but it's a 3-hour hike and it was already too late for that, so I only saw it from a distance.
The next day, kayaking was on the agenda again, this time with an overnight stay at a campsite only accessible by boat.
To have enough time, I left relatively early, as I also had to drive for a little over an hour. When I arrived at Clearwater Lake, I packed up and inflated my little cargo boat - I needed that because I couldn't fit everything in my kayak.
Fully loaded, I started paddling and after about three and a half hours, I arrived at the campsite.
I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived there because there is a sandy beach here and all the sites have a lake view. Apart from me, there were 2 other groups there, with one group leaving the next day, and then the other group - also Germans - and I were there together for the second night. Unfortunately, it rained on the second day, so we sat under the tarp and talked until we could finally make a fire in the late afternoon.
