Nairn Falls, located on the Duffey Lake Road (Hwy 99), BC, has an easy trail to its turbulent glacial waters along with a Provincial Park Campground.

The water was really stirred up and milky green this July 2019.

There is a Provincial Park Campsite with 94 camping spots at Nairn Falls. When we checked the reservation site on the day before we were going (July 18th) it told us that booking had to be done at least two days ahead, and everything was already booked and unavailable.
- BC Parks Site: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/nairn_falls/
- Booking site: https://discovercamping.ca
However, when we got there about two in the afternoon, some of those bookings had been cancelled and there were last-minute spots available.

Wonderful photos for this week. I’d like to visit there. 😀
It’s fairly close to you – we go down to Oregon all the time…
Oh that beautiful slug!!!
Yes, he’s gorgeous – the post was supposed to be about water but I couldn’t resist putting in a shot of him!
Its all in the eye of the beholder, as they say.
I have never seen a banana slug before! Great captures 😉
They’re huge; if there’s one on the path you can’t miss it!
