This large scenic park and wilderness area contains five major lakes, two river systems, many small lakes, streams, waterfalls and rapids, which make this an outdoor recreation paradise.

When we learned that most of the hikes were low-level, along rivers or creeks, I feared we'd get bored. Not to worry! We had a wonderful time during our relaxed, 4-day stay. The first day, on our host's recommendation, we walked Ray Farm, then spent hours gazing mesmerized at the salmon vainly trying to scale Bailey's Chute, then finished with a walk up to Myanth Falls (West Lake trail looked too muddy). Second day we walked up to Trophy Mountain meadows. Wonderful vistas. Tho it was cloudy and a scant 9 degrees at the trailhead at 10:30, the sun burned off the clouds and it warmed up nicely. Stopped at Spahat Creek Falls on the way home. Third day was a change: we rented kayaks for an all-day paddle on Clearwater Lake. Beautiful, quiet, hot. My only quibble was that we had to get the double kayak down from the rack and into the water by ourselves. We're small people (it probably weighed 5x my weight) and in our '70s, so it was quite a struggle. The last day we spent on waterfalls: Helmken, Dawson, and down to the base of Moul,plus the Green Mt. Tower lookout. You could probably do it all in 3 days if you worked harder, but we loved our leisurely visit. Very recommended.

On the way back from our Rocky Mountain coach tour we stopped at the Wells Gray Provincial Park at Clearwater, just off the Southern Yellowhead Highway. We had to walk a bit from the bus parking lot but it was quite a pleasant one through some old growth forest. The towering falls looked beautiful with the water gushing down from a narrow opening in the layers of solidified lava and falling with a force about eighty feet below. The falls were in two steps making it look longer. We could distinctly make out the different layers of solidified lava flows which led to the formation of these hills. There are supposed to be four more major falls in the Wells Gray Park but we were on a time budget so we had to get back in our bus to Vancouver. There were decent washrooms and a food stall selling hot Belgian waffles near the parking lot.

I lovely walk down to this waterfall, although quite steep and a bit of climbing needed at the end. If you walk behind the waterfall you will need a change of clothes as you will be drenched.

When we visited, we were the only car in the car park. Sheer heaven! The trails are clearly marked and it was wonderful to walk by the river and to listen to birds, watch butterflies and just be peaceful. We followed the trail to the viewpoint and what a treat it was to stand on the edge and watch a train go by on the other side of the river. This is a magical place and we felt priveleged to be able to experience it on our own.
