Wells Gray Provincial Park

Wells Gray Provincial Park is Canada's 4th biggest park, encompassing 1.9 million (540,000 hectors) acres of  land. It is also called a waterfall park because it has 40 spectacular water falls accessible by trail or boat. This area was shaped by volcanic activity and glacial movement.

 

Spahats falls, what can you say...INCREDIBLE!

Layer upon layer of fresh lava created flat areas, over which floods flowed during the last ice age . These floods shaped the upright cliff  in the lava flows over which the river now flows. Looking downstream from the falls. This canyon is almost 3,000 feet deep.

Wells Gray Park is world renowned for its canoeing, angling, kayaking, rafting, and hiking.  The park is open year round and is a winter wonder land. This is one of the warming cabins along the trails for weary visitors.

There are 500 different kinds of plants, 200 kinds of mushrooms, 150 different birds and 50 species of animals in Wells Grey. It is also home to the largest remaining caribou herds in Southern British Columbia.
