Helmcken Falls / Wells Gray Provincial Park Description
From the end of the Mush Bowls road a path leads to the marvelously spectacular Helmcken Falls in Wells Gray Provincial Park. The hike to Helmcken Falls is called the Helmcken Brink Trail and is approximately 8 km (5 mi.) long.

The many volcanic features found in Wells Gray Park (e.g. cooled lava beds, volcanic cones and craters - the youngest between 4000 and 400 years old) point to almost continuous volcanic activity during the last 500,000 years. About 7000 to 8000 years ago, a 15 km (9 mi.) long lava flow issuing from the now inactive volcanic cone east of Ray Lake blocked the valley of the Clearwater River and led to the creation of the present Clearwater Lake.

Wells Gray Park can also be entered by a road
