While working in Kamloops I twice took a day trip to Clearwater and Wells Gray Provincial Park. It is a beautiful drive to Clearwater. At the information center you turn left and follow the road about 15 minutes and you arrive at Spahats Waterfall Park. A ten minute hike from the road(parking lot was closed in March and early April)... More

We go to Wells Gray whenever we have visitors. Wonderful Park. The Falls are amazing. We've been going here since the early 70s.

We visited BC in 1998 (not May 2012 as shown - the dates don't go back far enough) and drove into Wells Gray on a whim. What a beautiful place. We didn't have time to stop and explore much but we saw the most amazing waterfalls in total isolation. Just us and the sound of the water and the spray.... More

Driving from Lytton to Valemount, we decided tot visite the Wells Gray Prov. park. We limited our visite at three falls, Helmcken Falls, Spahats Falls and Dawson falls, for me the most beautifull off all. This visited took us 90 minutes. A good choice on this long drive.i

But I found out that the campground there had these little one room cabins for rent under $50 a night..Ok..here we come. They were so cute, with queen... More

Wells Gray Park is a huge, natural gem. Anyone who loves the outdoor life will find the chance to enjoy it in any season: hiking, camping, canoeing, cross-country skiing, and horse-back riding....marvelous camera opportunities. Helmeken Lodge is a great place to stay or have a delicious meal.

This is accessable wilderness at its best. The variety of waterfalls, lava beds, hiking trails, great fishing and beautiful vistas is amazing. I am surprised that many people never visit this beautiful park.

We started at Helmcken falls to see the salmons jump and then slowly drove back to the park entrance. A lot to see, especially waterfalls of all kinds, on the way back

It's called the waterfall park, although most will settle for seeing a couple of easy access and spectacular waterfalls. Lots of mosquitoes most summers, large busy campsites in summer, wilderness area is very large, much of it left that way.
