Dawson Falls in Wells Gray Provincial Park



Another waterfall at Wells Gary Provincial Park is Dawson Falls.  There’s also a cool view of a bridge that we crossed on the way to and from these falls.  Take a look……
 

 
As we drove up the road to Helmcken Falls, we crossed over Bailey Bridge and what’s called the Mush Bowl.  From the look of this image, you can see why!  I purposefully used a slower shutter speed so that you get the feel of how fast the water was rushing down the river into the Mush Bowl!

 
Here’s another view of the Bailey Bridge from the path toward Dawson Falls.  Altho it was very sturdy, from this view, it has a sort of rustic look to it that I really like.  I’m including this image so you can see how the water really does sort of mush together right at this point!

 
After a short walk, here’s Dawson Falls!  It’s incredibly beautiful and wide – and the water is rushing over it at such a fast pace……definitely wouldn’t want to accidentally fall into it!
On the walk to and from the falls, we’re in such a pretty forest, I couldn’t help but stop and take a photo.  I just love the green of the forest and the calmness of the woods.  Altho the area is known for having bears, we didn’t see any.  However, can’t you imagine one looking at you thru this slice of nature?

 
And, look down for some tiny treasures!  As we walked the forest path, I saw these adorable little white flowers set in the deep green leaves.  I really liked them, especially set next to this downed birch tree branch.  An intimate little landscape!
Enjoy!
