2011 - 11 Little Qualicum Falls

Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park was a great place to be today.  It is situated about 12 km west from the Qualicum Beach/Parksville area and is situated in a forested area and the Little Qualicum River weaves its way through a rocky gorge down to the ocean. 

As you will see in some of these photos the weather was very transient; rain then sun and then a little snow mixed in the rain but no one got wet and the river had lots of water.

Did I mention snow in the rain?

Lower Falls


Deep section of the gorge


The river took a path of least resistance a few years back (million or two)


These falls are just downstream of the middle bridge and are the most impressive.

This photo was taken July 2009, not much water flowing that day...
