šØš¦ BC's Best-Kept Secret | Wells Gray Provincial Park šæ
My first visit to Wells Gray was during an Alaskan road trip three years ago. It was late May, and the ranger told me, "Trophy Meadows Trail is usually a flower paradise... but right now, itās just snow." āļø So, I left with only memories of the parkās countless waterfallsāuntil I returned in mid-June and discovered glacier lilies blanketing the meadows like a golden carpet. And the real surprise? The half-frozen alpine lakes at the trailās endāabsolute magic. ⨠Why Wells Gray? ⢠Waterfalls Galore: Helmcken Falls, Spahats Creek Falls, and dozens moreāeach more dramatic than the last. ⢠Hidden Lakes & Meadows: Trophy Meadows Trail (JuneāJuly) = wildflower explosions + mirror-like tarns. ⢠Less Crowded Than Banff/Jasper: Mostly European tourists (Germans love it!) on the "BC Rockies Loop" (Banff + Jasper + Mt. Robson + Whistler). š Getting There: ⢠Fly into Vancouver or Calgary, then road-trip through BCās interior. ⢠Airbnb tip: Stay near Clearwater for easy park access! šø When to Go: ⢠JuneāJuly: Wildflowers + thawing lakes. ⢠AugustāSept: Best for waterfall hikes. ⢠Winter: Frozen falls = icy fairyland (but some trails close). #ExploreBC #WellsGray #HiddenCanada #WaterfallChaser #AlpineLakes #RoadTripBC #WildflowerSeason
