Elk Falls

When we drove to Campbell River the other day we passed signs for Elk Falls. It’s a nice day for a picnic! So we drove up to see the provincial park.  The falls on the Campbell River are accessed by a suspension bridge over the canyon, then a short hike down hill to a view point above the falls. 

There was another hike through old growth forest that I walked later that afternoon by myself while John napped in the car. It’s so peaceful and cool among all those tall trees. I was able to spot a second set of waterfalls called Deer Falls but couldn’t get close enough for a good picture.

The only tables available for our picnic were in the sun so we drove up the road looking for a more shaded area.  We found lots of shade around a couple of lakes but no tables so we ended up in a campground overlooking Campbell Lake and used one of their tables.
