Jan 11th, 2020 : Helmcken Falls

If you find yourself canoeing, tubing, floating, or otherwise progressing down the Murtle River in Wells Gray Provincial Park,
British Columbia, be cautious. Otherwise you’ll drop off The Mushbowl, Dawson Falls, Majerus Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Meadow
Falls, and McDougall Falls.
But they were just practice for 141 m (463 ft) Helmcken Falls, the 4th highest falls in Canada measuring straight drop.



Helmcken Falls wasn’t discovered until July 24, 1913 by a surveyor laying out homestead lots.
It was named for John Sebastian Helmcken, a physician with the Hudson's Bay Company who arrived in Victoria in 1850.
He helped bring British Columbia into Canadian Confederation in 1871.

That is so cool! It’s like the waterfall is a snow machine creating a huge cone of snow, but melting a hole in the middle.

And is that a picture of a photograph? Is that wallpaper in the background or a tablecloth?

No, it's a photograph of the falls. The panel on each side I added because if I made the picture the full 12 inches it would be too damn long and I didn't want to crop the length any further. However I'm aware that for people using anything other than vBulletin 3 style large white areas can be jarring so I toned them down a little. Sorry for the confusion.

I camped in that park many moons ago.
Being a southern California boy, I was astounded at number, size and temperature of the rivers.
