| Page Views: 201 Last Visit to Clearwater: May, 2006 I Visit Here Frequently | The waterfalls of Wells Gray Park. by Darby2 - last update: May 24, 2006 |
Helmcken Falls | The 475' cascade of Helmcken Falls |
|
|  | Dawson Falls About 80 feet high, Dawson Falls is the equal of Niagara...on a slightly smaller scale...but equally spectacular as it is here in full flood in the spring of 2006 |
| | Spahats Creek Falls This 210 foot high cataract is on the way into Wells Gray Park, just north of Clearwater. The creek has carved a narrow canyon through the layers of basalt. It plunges into a small grotto before leaping into the chasm below. |
| | Rainbow over Dawson Falls |
| | Spahats Creek and basalt cliffs The cliffs are about 500 feet high. Notice if you can spot the people at the top right on the viewpoint to give you a sense of scale. |
| | Helmcken Falls in full flood Note the ice still built up here in early spring. Many come to the falls in winter to see the huge ice cone that forms. |
| | Spahats Creek, above the falls Before plunging over the cliff, the creek passes through this dense stand of old cedar. One large tree has fallen across the creek. Have a look at the next page of the Travelog for a walk through the woods here. |

Even though I've now seen the falls shot on three different pages, it still impresses. | FletteMette Fri Sep 1, 2006 12:59 UTC
