Day: August 28, 2015

This snackery is right across from the information centre for Wells Gray Provincial Park. I can really recommend this place. Honest, freshly baked goodies. I ordered a wrap which was absolutely delicious! The tuna salad was fresh and I loved the fact that the wrap itself was strawberry couloured. With my wrap I drank a lovely strawberry smoothie. My food was totally in sink with the name of the eatery.

I was great eating outside on the lovely terrace and enjoying the sun.

O yeah, and the free wifi worked very good! Which is rather exceptional in Canada’s national parks.

This incredibly beautiful waterfall wasn’t even in our guide. Unbelievably. Such a force of nature can leave nobody indifferent. This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve seen in Canada. A real hidden treasure.

If you like nature, this is the place for you. Location is key and Lac Le Jeune is situated right at the lakeshore of the gorgeous Lac Le Jeune. Lots of birds, squirrels and chipmunks to enjoy. The owners of the hotel have put bird feeders everywhere, so you can enjoy those lovely creatures from upclose.

The rooms are spacious and a bit old fashioned. Beds were good and the bathroom was clean. The rooms don’t have airconditioning, only a ceiling fan. It wasn’t very warm during our stay, so we didn’t mind. It is a pity though that there is no refrigerator in the room. The hotel is far away from everything, would be nice to have a place to keep your drinks cool. There is no elevator, so you’ll have to carry your luggage up on the stairs.

We stayed in the hotel for three nights and on arrival promptly got offered an upgrade for our second and third night. We got changed to a room with a better view for the same price. Very thoughtful!

Staff is super friendly and will give you lots of tips where you can find wild life. We really loved our little canoo trip on the lake. I was very happy to be able to capture the beautiful loon on camera.

Breakfast and dinner are both outstanding. Very, very good. Options for dinner are limited, but very tasty. The breakfast buffet was lovely, with lots of different options to choose from. Really enjoyed all the fresh fruit. Tip: do try their blueberry pie. This was honestly the best I’ve had in my whole life.

An amazing trip over this gorgeous canyon. It is a pity that the ride in the cable car only lasts a few minutes.The suspension bridge gives you quite a view on the powerful currents of the Fraser river. The café was a disappointment though: mediocre food at best. My salmon chowder had way too much pepper in it and the fries were swimming in salt. There is also a huge touristic shop which we just skipped. We loved the exhibition about the fishing ways: really interesting, although it felt rather dated and could use a make-over.

I do have to say I found the airtram too expensive compared to the attractions on the other side of the canyon. The icecream was very nice, though.
