Waterfall in Wells Gray Park Wells Gray Provincial Park, BC

One of British Columbia's most spectacular provincial parks, the wilderness area of Wells Gray Provincial Park is now 540,000 hectares encompassing most of the Clearwater River watershed. To the east and north of the park are the giant peaks and glaciers of the Cariboo Mountains and to the west and south are upland plateaus and alpine meadows where wildflowers splash their dazzling colours.



Five major lakes, two river systems, numerous small lakes and streams as well as mineral springs, lava beds and extinct volcanoes are found within this vast area. Forest cover consists mainly of Douglas fir, western red cedar, hemlock, cottonwood, willow, birch and trembling aspen.

The variety of landscapes in Wells Gray Provincial Park creates the perfect habitat for many different wildlife species such as deer, bears, mountain goats, beavers, wolverines and a diverse array of birds. Trails throughout the park lead to numerous, breathtaking waterfalls.
