Picnic at Takakkaw Falls

The group had a hotdog picnic at Takakkaw Falls, a short distance into British Columbia. The picnic was intended for the next day but was moved up because of weather concerns. It worked, sort of. In the falls picture the sky is blue; the picnic concluded with torrential rains. Things change fast around here.

The road to the falls has a couple very tight switchbacks, and there are no warnings at the beginning. Tour buses somehow make these turns, but not always the unknowing RV driver.

So-called glacial flour – finely ground bits of rock – is probably the reason this river looks so white.
