The spectacular scenery is the reason Wells Gray Park is a "must see" on your trip through BC. It is known as the waterfall park as there are over 250 waterfalls located in the area. The most impressive is Helmcken Falls, at 141metres it is the fourth highest in Canada.
However, there is a lot more to Wells Gray Park than magnificent scenery - extinct volcanoes, lava rock formations, alpine meadows, lush forest, and the free-flowing Clearwater River to name a few. Following are potential itineraries lasting from a short 1/2 hour to a few days stay in Clearwater, BC and Wells Gray Country.

The Waterfall Dash - 3 hours
If you arrive in Clearwater later in the afternoon there is still enough time to visit 3 impressive waterfalls - Helmcken, Spahats and Dawson. In summer (July & August) it is usually light until after 8:00pm. Or relax in the evening and take a visit the park in the morning before heading off to your next destination.
Driving distance is approximately 93 km round trip to Helmcken Falls

Spectacular Waterfalls - 6 to 8 hours Same as the dash only at a slower pace so that you can view more of the beauty of Wells Gray Park. Add in a short hike to Ray's farm & the mineral springs or if you are here in September/ October see the Salmon jumping at Bailey's Chute. Also for those in a car - a trip up Green Mountain for a spectacular 360° view is a must. Driving distance is approximately 114 km round trip to Bailey's Chute or 112 to Ray's Farm and Mineral Spring. If you have the time, take a tour of the Clearwater Lake. |
