not really classified as falls by the park's standard, but I think they are. Notice sue sitting on the other side.


same falls by the bridge


the area under the bridge has all these pot holes...I figure they were created by rocks or sand getting trapped in the lava rocks pores and swirling around wearing a hole


a series of holes


a fern growing in one of the holes

Dixon Falls...I think this set of falls are the most beautiful that we saw in the park

Wells Gray Guest Ranch...I would stay here if I was ever in this area again. They have bunk houses for $16/ night as well as cabins and tenting.
