The skies in Wells Gray were smoky so there were no views, but we chose to hike a longer forest trail anyway. We took our time and focused on the flora, fungi, fauna, light, and geology along the trail instead. A few of our sightings are included here. Fungi were also numerous and are featured at this link.
