British Columbia - and more amazing waterfalls

In between the Cariboo Mountains, about halfway between Jasper and Kamloops and off the Yellowhead Highway (hwy 5), lies the enormous wilderness park of Wells Gray Provincial Park.  Here are three seldom visited incredible waterfalls.  The most impressive is Helmcken Falls the 4^th tallest of Canada’s waterfalls.  Here the Murtle River plunges 141m into a misty abyss.  Dawson Falls are wider rather than tall and they are lovely too. 

Spahats Falls.  These falls are in an incredibly deep canyon.

Dawson Falls.

The most spectacular of the three falls, Helmcken Falls - 141m (462ft) high and 23m (75ft) wide.

Below are the Rearguard Falls.  This is the upper limit of the 800 mile migration of salmon from the Pacific Ocean to jump and spawn.  Only a few Chinook, the largest and strongest of the salmon, get this far.  It is really interesting to see them jumping, but almost impossible to capture on camera.
