Day 9 - Benham Falls
They are serious about taking yer kayak out of the river here. Hope this sign is visible from the river side. Oops.
A bushwhack awaits.
Grasses and shruberies of many colours.
Still a bit of patchy snow!

Ella on the trail.
We arrive at Benham Falls.
Tiny folks in the big woods.
These trees have the best view of the raging falls below.
The top bit of Benham Falls. It falls a lot over a few hundred meters.
Just a young'in.
Tourists dare their children to jump in.
Russ and Ella on the return trail.
Like a somewhat strange bonsai.
Dinner at 5 Fusion. Once again we partake of their specialty Japanese imports.
