Wells Gray Park’s Helmcken Falls has been getting some attention recently after a photo and video showing the landmark gained traction on the Clearwater BC Photos Facebook page.
The video, which was shot by Barriere resident Ellen Monteith, captures the waterfall as it continues to create a “snow cone,” which is formed when water from the falls creates a wall of ice at the base – notably in the shape of an upside down snow cone.
Monteith posted it to the Facebook group Clearwater BC Photos, where the views, likes and shares exploded.
“I was really surprised because to us, it’s quite a simple video and if you’re from the area, you see that (often),” said Monteith.
“Once it went viral, it was like, wow, it’s actually reaching a lot of people that wouldn’t normally see it.” Wells Gray Park Helmcken Falls video
