Gorge Creek Trail

 We went for a Canada Day hike on the Gorge Creek Trail near Craigellachie - the site of the last spike for the Canadian Pacific Railway. The trail is delightful and featured several raging waterfalls, tasty blueberries and some fun botanizing.

 This kid is happy in a backpack in the woods. Good news for her parents.

 Wild ginger (Asarum caudatum) with its subtle ground flower.

 Those long tails on each petal let ants crawl up and pollinate.

 
 Cassia - how do you feel about getting sprayed by waterfalls?

Engorged Gorge Creek.

 Columbia tiger lily (Lilium columbianum) and a goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia)

Great! I've always wondered about that trail as we drive past at 110kmh.
