Wells Gray Provincial Park,
located in British Columbia, Canada, is also known as the waterfall park
due to the many waterfalls within the park. Wells Gray
has something to offer every outdoor interest: lush alpine meadows, excellent
birding and wildlife viewing opportunities; hiking for every ability, ranging
from a few minutes on a level trail to many days with a map and compass;
boating, canoeing and kayaking. Guiding businesses offer horseback riding,
canoeing, river-rafting, fishing and hiking; and the history enthusiast can
learn about the early homesteaders, trappers, and prospectors, or about the
natural forces that produced Wells Gray’s many volcanoes, waterfalls, mineral
springs and glaciers.

Falls Creek Campground
A footbridge crosses Falls Creek at the campground
entrance. The creek rises on Azure Mountain, 20 km to the northeast,
and flows south in a deep valley between the Goat Peaks and Ray
Mountain. Thirteen km from here, it reaches the lava flow know as
Dragon's Tongue and for the remainder of its course, the creek wanders
southwest across the lava.
The Dragon's Tongue resulted from eruptions on
Dragon Cone, east of Ray Lake, 7600 years ago. After flowing
southwest through the narrow valley of Falls Creek, the lava pooled in the
Clearwater Valley and extended two km south to where Norman's Eddy is
today. The lava dammed the Clearwater River to a height of four
metres and increased the size of Clearwater Lake which is just
upstream.
