Outdoor Adventure
Wells Gray Provincial Park's network of hiking trails, which traverse the 3,100ha/7,660ac Clearwater River Corridor, range in difficulty from easy to advanced. Highlight trails include the route to Mahood Lake and the easy-to-moderate trek to the Trophy Mountains meadows (especially in July when alpine flowers bloom). Helmcken Falls Rim Trail (5km/3mi), infrequently used but easily found, snakes behind the iconic falls offering a spectacular rare view.
