Who knew we had a Grand Canyon in BC? This is Chasm Provincial Park in the Cariboo. 600m wide and 300m deep. The walking path is right on the very edge for most of it, with no fence or other protection. Not for the feint of heart. lol1yr ⋅ Gaphumbala ⋅ r/britishcolumbia

Ammonite Falls on Mt. Benson. My first time there and I was impressed by the new stairs down to the falls. Good access to a beautiful waterfall. Some will miss the rope access, I suppose.2yr ⋅ Gaphumbala ⋅ r/nanaimo
Hawthorn berries in the Fall. I always thought they were poisonous but it turns out that they are quite versatile.1yr ⋅ Gaphumbala ⋅ r/britishcolumbia
