Lovely Englishman River Falls (Set 1 of 2) (+5 insets!)
(+5 insets!) (even prettier full size!) :D
Trip Talk: Two Breathtaking Waterfalls in One Day!
Our jaw-dropping evening at Parksville gave us a pretty good indication that our adventures here would be fantastic--that sure turned out to be true! :)
Our first morning after we set up at Parksville, we decided to check out a couple of waterfalls that everyone raved about--Englishman River Falls and Little Qualicum Falls. They both included beautiful hikes and both of us were really excited as we ate breakfast and prepared our lunch of various cheeses, sausages and other tasty treats.
Walking through the Forest to Englishman River Falls
This lovely provincial park was located mere moments from our campsite and its close proximity to the nearby towns of Qualicum Beach, Coombs and Parksville meant it was a popular destination for the locals too. It also has an very popular campground but sadly for us, the many campsites are small and have no electrical or sewer hookups. (These "old-style" campgrounds without amenities are standard for the many provincial parks on Vancouver Island. The restrictions of these "primitive" sites also meant we couldn't include them in our reservations.)
The most popular features of Englishman River Falls Provincial Park are the wonderful rock-slab beaches along the river. Perfect for relaxing with the family on this lovely, warm Sunday, Steve and I felt a pang of regret that we didn't pack swimsuits, but kept this in mind for the future. As we headed out of the parking lot to begin our hike, we were amused to see little kids squealing in excitement as they ran circles around their parents. They carried all-important, brightly-colored buckets and shovels in their tiny hands, but not a stitch on their adorable little bodies!
Once we were on the main trail we found ourselves alone in blissful solitude and Steve and I enjoyed a beautiful hike through dappled forest on well-cared-for trails. The path lead along the picturesque fast-moving river to some lovely view-points to see the Falls, which included a pair of handsome bridges that we crossed to get up to the Falls themselves. Steve and I had a very wonderful, relaxing walk accented with plenty of photos!
Today's Pictures
My main picture shows the Englishman River Falls and I think you'll agree that the sight is a breathtaking one! Steve and I stood for a long while, marveling at the strong-flowing water cascading into the chasm below. Due to its location, there wasn't any way to photograph the entire waterfall but I was really happy with this view!
Insets include an abstract of the rushing water and some of the beautiful forest scenery we encountered along the way.
Pam, I looked through your pictures because I was sure I'd see waterfalls but WOW! There aren't any! I did see though, that there are some really beautiful waterfalls not that far from where you live. (Waterfalls near you). I'm going to bet you've visited some of them! Steve and I are crazy about these water features so whenever we have the chance we will go to see them! How is the weather treating you these days? For us, freezing mornings and gorgeous sunny days lately! It won't last forever but we're enjoying the sunshine and lovely, warm afternoons while they are here! Sending *hugssssss* your way!

JANET... THERE IS ONE AND ONE ONLY WATERFALL EVEN CLOSE TO US !!! TURNER FALLS www.turnerfallspark.com
DISAPPOINTING MOST OF THE TIME WITH DRY FALLS. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS DROWNING IN THE POOL THERE !!!!
THE ONLY OTHER WATERFALL IN OK IS IN THE MYRIAD BOTANICAL GARDEN GLASS BRIDGE IN OKC !!! THERE I DO LOVE TO GO. YOU CAN STAND UNDER THE FALL AND TRADITION DICTATES THAT A FALL YOU CAN SAND UNDER YOU MUST KISS YOUR PARTNER !
THOSE IN THE PICS IN THE LINK YOU GAVE ARE IN THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS !!!!!
SIGH.. I SO WISH I DID LIVE THERE !!!
Bonne fin de semaine
Mein letztes -->Wasserfall-Foto entstand in den Allgäuer Alpen - leider nicht so schön beleuchtet.
Unser größter Wasserfall ist der --> Rheinfall.
Der wirkt aus der Ferne nicht so spektakulär, weil er so breit ist. Steht man nahe dran, ist er aber gewaltig, jedoch nicht ganz so, wie die Niagarafälle.
In the PiPs I particularly like the view along the river to that gorgeous little bridge and the final PiP with the close-up water action and the wet rocks is superb!
It seems like you had a wonderful day..................way to go folks!
. Have a great evening ♡¸.•*
Ich wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende, Janet.
ich habe deine lange Geschichte von euren beiden Wanderungen gelesen. manche Details fand ich interessant: Du schreibst dass die Zeltplätze dort einfach und ohne Strom sind, schreibst dass du kein Plätzchen fandest von dem aus du diesen Wasserfall ungestört fotografieren konntest. Du hast geschrieben du würdest dort gerne baden gegangen sein.
Schön das du gezeigt hast wo auf dieser Welt dieser Wasserfall ist
