Little Qualicum River

August 5, 2015

Englishman River, Vancouver Island

There are lots of rapids like this and some superb waterfalls within Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park near Cameron Lake (named after a well known Westie) on central Vancouver Island.

The River

The view out my ‘office window’ on a recent photography excursion. This was serious work (sturdy tripod, high resolution sensor and top-notch optics). And while wasted on a website photo, the image has incredible detail which will be visible in print form.

Though you could do this trip from Salt Spring Island in a day, I chose to stay overnight. My truck was parked only 7 metres from the rapid pictured above and about 15 metres from the two below. In the middle photo, you get a sense of the thundering waterfall. So thundering that I decided to move the truck farther away so I could sleep at night!

The colours of this crystal clear mountain water just needed to be photographed.
