2nd Tallest Waterfall in Canada - 7

08.07.14

Today we went to Takkakkakkakkaw Falls. I actually don't know how to spell it, or pronounce it, so that's just how I say it. (Update: it's spelled Takakkaw.) It was the 2nd tallest waterfall in Canada, and I was excited to see it. And no kidding, it really did look like the 2nd tallest. It was super tall, yet skinny. And even though it was a bit skinny, it was gushing with water. Tons and tons of water from who-knows-where. It was actually pretty amazing. Where does all that water come from? I know, glaciers. But the glacier can't melt at the same pace the water comes down, so there's gotta be a lake. But the lake will run out eventually. It can't be that big. And for the while that the fall's been, well, falling, then the lake should be dry already. Yeah, I know, the glacier keeps supplying the lake, but then the glacier's gotta be melting rapidly. I don't know, maybe I just don't get it. Oh well, it's cool either way.

Train

After Takakkaw Falls, and getting soaked from the mist, we went to watch a train. There was a huge train tunnel through the mountain, and it did a figure eight. It was actually really fun to watch. The train was so long, and at one point it was on 3 different tracks at once, which was cool. I don't have a train picture of it going through the mountain, so enjoy a picture of it by a lake!

Bridge

Then, we went to "The Bridge". It was kind of cool... it was pretty much just a bridge made out of rock. The only defect was that there was a huge gap in the middle of the bridge. I guess that kind of ruins the purpose of a bridge though, doesn't it? But that was that for the day, and it was a fun day.

Johnston Canyon, which was alright
