helmcken falls

Fabulous views from the falls viewpoints! Great in the afternoon when the sun comes from the west. Worthwhile to hike west along the cliff edge for more great views. Keep well away from the edge!

An amazing sight to see. Nature at its best. Fine trails and lots of parking. Not very busy either. You may see the odd tour bus.

The cone that forms as the spray from the falling water freezes provides a unique view of this ageless wonder of the world. The road is plowed right up to the parking lot at Helmcken Falls so there is a short 5 minute walk in to see this amazing natural wonder. A 'must see' when visiting the Wells Gray Provincial Park!

Large falls that are just steps from the road! So very beautiful and can walk along a trail to see different perspectives of the falls!

Superb Helmcken falls !! Wells Gray park deserves to be visited and Clearwater is a nices top between Vancouver and Jasper-Banff national parks

An absolutely beautiful sight! This is why I chose to visit Wells Grey Park for my holidays and was delighted to have seen the other fantastic falls in the area too.There are information boards around the Park by the Falls explaining the formation of the Falls which was interesting.We had perfect Autumn weather with very few other tourists around made for better Photo opportunities. If you are anywhere near Wells Grey Park, I'd strongly suggest making a point of visiting these falls.

Considering that we were travelling from Vancouver Island to Jasper, this was a good place to stopover. If you visit the park the waterfalls are worth definitely a visit. There are two access to the 2 sides of the canyon where the waterfalls are, the shortest has a very convenient parking place close to the viewpoint. The waterfalls are the highest in North America, and when frozen offer an even better experience. In summer beware of mosquitoes!

This was a really beautiful waterfall in the park. Actually the only one worth visiting in the Park.

Our friend took us on a tour through the park and stopped at the various sites. This waterfall is truly spectacular. The view point it perfect for capturing video and still photo's of the waterfall and surrounding area. He told us that in the winter time when the falls freeze people ice climb on it. We have seen other waterfalls during our travels, but this one is one big #@@ waterfall. From the view point you can see all the way down to the Clearwater River.

Amazing perspective on geological formations. Very hard to beat the majesty of these magnificent waterfalls

Stayed in kamloops and packed a lunch and drove up with family. 2 hour scenic drive. Lots of angles for photos and picnic area is good. Nice excursion for a day.

The drive to the falls is scenic, the falls themselves are great with plenty of hiking trauils around and a good picnic area on site.

Potentially the most beautiful waterfall in the world. I've seen hundreds in Hawaii and countless in North America, and this trumps every one of them. The combination of botanical and geological history in this area is outstanding. Visit during the week in the off season. Winter is amazing.

It's a 2 minute walk to this spectacular waterfall and probably the highlight of the park. definitely worth a visit

no visitor will be disappointed by driving 45km to get to this location. stunning views and great hikes.
