Seasonal waterfall and grazing bears


This waterfall in the Callaghan Valley has a great variation in seasonal flow. In summer, our guide Jason told us, it is a mere trickle. At this season it is still fed by plenty of melting snow. This was a bonus view shown us by our bear guides.

James and Jason, of  Whistler Discovery Tours, drove us up into bear country to watch from the safety of a land rover while those hungry animals, fresh out of hibernation, grazed on young clover by the roadside. As the snow melts and the spring progresses, the bears will follow the new growth up to the alpine elevations.
