Day 6: Wells Gray Provincial Park

प्रकाशित: 09.07.2022

The children use our packing and cleaning time to play on the playground. Then we drive 2 hours north to Wells Gray Provincial Park. Today is waterfall day. Our first stop is the Spahats Waterfall, which is 73 meters high and 9 meters wide. The walk from the parking lot to the viewpoint is short. The waterfall was formed by cooled lava flows that created cavities. Now the water flows and falls into the Clearwater River. The view is good and we admire the power of the water. Afterwards, we walk 1 kilometer to the viewpoint over the Provincial Park, which shows the river, the mountains, and the forests. Erik doesn't want to walk and refuses. Back at the car, we have a lunch snack and drive another 45 minutes further into the park. Our next stop is waterfall number 2, the Dawson Waterfall. We walk along a forest path to reach the waterfall. Since it has rained, the path is very muddy and the mosquitoes are biting us like crazy. But the view of the waterfall compensates us. We are standing right on the edge of the waterfall, which drops 18 meters and is 107 meters wide. It is a great natural spectacle. The walk of 10 minutes is also manageable here. Our last stop is the Helmcken Fall. The highest and most beautiful waterfall of today. With a height of 141 meters and a width of 23 meters, the water falls into the Murtle River. Upon arrival at the parking lot, it is raining, but shortly afterwards the sun shines and the view of the falls shines in a beautiful view. Then we leave the park. Our path leads along the Thomson River as well as many coniferous forests, with snow-covered mountains in the background. After almost 2 hours, we reach Blue River, a small town on the river. Our spot is quickly occupied. Today is laundry day and all the things are being washed. A thunderstorm moves over the town, so we stay in the camper.
