Best Places to See in BC, Maude Frickert Falls

Maude Frickert Falls comes upon you
in a flash. Her 87 feet
of thundering water can be heard
from quite a distance along the Squamish Main Road.
Being able to stand this close, literally overtop of
a magnificent waterfall that drops into
the Elaho River is truly an awe inspiring
experience. The spray can quite honestly soak you
right through. I had to try it out of course.
On a hot summer's day it's an amazing
experience.
Though I haven't been able to find out any history on
the naming of Maude Frickert Falls, I want to believe
she was an adventurous pioneer who stopped here
to enjoy a few minutes of Mother Natures splendor.

Best Places to See in BC, Ponder Creek

One of the most beautiful little creeks
I have seen to date is Pondor Creek.
Starting her life in the Coast Mountains north
of Vancouver, Pondor Creek is
a nature lover's dream
come true.
Pondor and Peach Creek both empty
into the Elaho River complex, which in turn
becomes part of the Squamish River.
Fish and wildlife abound here,
peace and serenity are met with the
burbling sounds of Ponder Creek
as she starts her journey to the sea.

British Columbia never fails to
both astound and amaze me in
her beauty and hidden secrets.

Best Places to See in BC, The Elaho River

I've just recently heard about the
Elaho River in British Columbia. And of course
I had to go check it out for myself.

After spending several days in the
area I have to admit to being overawed
at the gigantic beauty of this whole region.
The Elaho River is a tributary of the
Squamish River which originates
at the Pemberton Icefield.
In places the Elaho is gentle and
sublime. In others she is wild and
virtually untamed.
She is one of the foremost rivers in
BC for whitewater rafting and kayaking.
She is a beautiful shade of turquoise which
means a glacier fed river.

Seldom am I
short for words to describe the beauty
I have been privileged to see.
This is one of those times.
