Bella Coola is a small town at the end of North Bentinck Arm, a large coastal fjord about 200 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia. The coastal valley it sits in is surrounded by 6 to 9,000 foot peaks that rise abruptly from the valley floor. This vally can be reached by a small coastal ferry from the west, or via a precipitous, cliff-hugging road from the east. |

M. Gurr Lakes, Bella Coola |
|
|
Photo taken from the M. Gurr Lakes, near the end of Clayton Falls Creek road, southwest of Bella Coola, British Columbia. Clayton Falls Creek Road is a gut rattling road that has been maintained by removing old culverts and converting them to swales. What a view from the top! The ridges above the M. Gurr lakes stand at the junction of three large inlets: Burke Channel and North and South Bentinck Arms. |
