The next stop was Alexander Falls, a waterfall on Madeley Creek, a tributary of Callaghan Creek in the Callaghan Valley area of the Sea to Sky Country of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. The falls are located just below a bridge on the access road to Callaghan Lake Provincial Park, at the head of the valley, which lies to the west of the resort town of Whistler.
The falls consist of three drops that total up to 141 feet in total. The falls are about 40 feet wide. The tour stopped in a parking lot, and the two RV Gypsies took photos from the overlook in the parking lot. |

The 2010 Winter Olympics were held in Vancouver,
but part of them were also held here in Whistler. Peering through the
woods, Lee and Karen Duquette got a glimpse of part of the equipment
used at that time. |

Below: A busy bee on a flower caught Karen
Duquette's attention, and the tour guide stopped to let Karen take a
few photos. That was very nice of the guide. |

This tour took Lee and Karen Duquette through
the Coast Mountain Range to rarely-seen wildlife scenic destinations
in a rugged "air suspension" Land Rover designed to perform well in
adverse conditions and allowed them to visit some of the most remote
locations in the Whistler region. They hoped to see more black bears
as they drove through this area but had to settle for just seeing "Charlie".
No, the tour was not worth the money, because it was expensive, but
it was enjoyable. |
