The Little Qualicum River Falls.

A foggy morning, no hurry to go off exploring. Managed to FaceTime all my kids and grandchildren back in France which is quite a project as they are scattered around.

 

After chatting with mes enfants and grand kids, we ventured out into the mist and luckily after a few kilometers we drove into sunshine and blue skies.  The trail leading down to the lower falls on The Little Qualicum River.

 

First sight of the river and lower falls.

The noise of the water crashing over the rocks is quite something and the spray reaches as high as the bridge.

 

The Upper Falls.

 

The river as it approaches the upper falls.

 

A couple of hundred meters later the river goes mad as it drops over the rocks, not sure on the exact drop but it was quite a walk up.

 

You can walk back to the lower falls on the opposite side of the river after crossing the middle bridge but we opted to take the easy trail back.   There is a third bridge where the river leaves the lake but we decided we had seen enough for one day.
