Wells Gray, Helmecken Falls, Bailey's Chute



Bailey's Chute Salmon jumping, I nicknamed this chute The Leviathian over 12 years ago when I first visited Wells Gray Park, because it looks like a giant green serpent surfacing and diving under again. Very powerful body of water... I should scan my panoramics of it, it's the only way to capture it..The Leviathian...
