From Harris Creek Waterfall - A Shorts and Gaiters Adventure

Leaving behind our discovery of the Harris Creek Suspension Bridge we continued on down the road until we found ourselves driving along the creek by a waterfall. So we stopped, got out, and scrambled about on it ;)

Here's another photo of the falls but with the Island Alpinist in it for scale

evidence of an old bridge existed in the form of a concrete footing, though the wood had mostly decayed or been washed away

Here's a narrated video of our time at the waterfall including some photos not seen above!


I hope you enjoyed this glimpse at a backroad west coast wonder of a waterfall :D
