The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
hiked at Beaver Falls in McBride, British Columbia, Canada
July 30, 2015 (plus some 2009 photos)

While their RV was incapacitated, the two RV Gyspies drove their toad from downtown McBride to Beaver Falls by driving east on Highway 16 for 10 km. Then they turned north into the parking area just west of the Holmes River.

Then the two RV Gypsies took a short walk along the west side of the Holmes (Beaver) River with views of a small waterfall. The trail had some rough spots, but was relatively level.

The trail runs from a small parking area along the west bank of the Beaver (Holmes) River. During the fall run of spawning Chinook Salmon, this trail provides a first hand view of salmon trying to jump the falls.

Visitors are cautioned to take care as there are no guard rails or fencing at the falls area.

Below are photos from 2009 (the smaller ones) and 2015 (the bigger ones). There was a bit of change in the path, but the falls were the same.

Below: The two RV Gypsies walked to the edge of the River for a view of the bridge before starting on the path. The path started out level and very easy to navigate.

Below: The path in 2009 (small photo) and 2015 (bigger photo). It had become a bit overgrown and needs maintenance.

Below: Photos of the same area in 2009 (smaller photo) and 2015 (larger photo).

Below (2015) The water and/or weather has done some damage in the area, and in several spots, the river was close to the edge of a crumbling trail.
