Beautiful waterfall to see. Reachable from the parking lot with a simple short walk. In sunny weather the colors of the surroundings will certainly stand out even more beautifully.
I absolutely love this set of falls. This is the first set of falls you can get to when entering the park and it's the ones that captured our hearts and made us come back for more. Even if you only have a small amount of time this is very much worth the short drive off the highway.
Beautiful spot. It's possible to hike down to the base of the falls if you're feeling adventurous. Requires proper hiking shoes/boots. Walking sticks and spikes not necessary, but would be very helpful, as the trail is pretty steep grade on loose dirt.
Approximately 200m beyond the viewing platform, there is a clearing on your left, which leads to an unofficial, but easy to follow trail. Not for the faint of heart.
Estimated 2 km round-trip to the base of the falls, with an elevation change of about 300m or so. Took about 1.5 hours of hiking time round-trip.
Otherwise, an easy few minute walk from the parking lot to the viewpoint. Washrooms and food stand at trailhead.
This is a really beautiful place. It was a very short walk to the viewing area. I loved looking at the rock layers on the sides of the waterfalls. Super neat to see the layers of lava flow stacked on top of each other, and to be able to look back in time at each layer.
Beautifull waterfall in Wells Gray. There is a snackbar in the parkinglot that serves the best fries in Canada! The waffles were also very good. No need to pack lunch when you go to Wells Gray
Le must: y aller en fin de journée pour casser la croûte avec le soleil qui décline sur une sublime vallée que vous dominez depuis l'aire de pique nique. PS: ne laissez pas trainer la nourriture longtemps dehors, vous êtes au pays des ours
Proche du parking et à l'entrée du parc, c'est une très belle introduction aux magnifiques chutes présentes à Wells Gray. Le paysage vaut aussi le coup d'oeil, la vue est incroyable!
Si vous allez dans le parc pour voir les Chutes de Helmcken. Passez par celle ci avant. Elle est peu être moins haute mais les falaises autour font qu'elle est tout aussi impressionnante.
