Market Day and Twin Falls at Smithers.

August 24, 2013

Up and out the door early, as it was Market Day in Smithers, just a few miles from our campground, and THIS is the sight that greeted us when we rounded the bend to head into Smithers..  BEAUTIFUL colors of the mountain emerging from the early cloud cover.  

Here are a couple of pictures of the downtown areas, SUCH friendly folks, and so helpful give us info on interesting things to see!

And ALWAYS with the flowers!!!! EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

 We only bought a few vegetables at the Market Day booths - and Den got some FAB home made cookies! (or course he did.....)
But we did hit the shops and met some more great local people! One of them actually gave us the info about the Twin Falls.

And at the entrance to the town, These 2 sculptures......

And another one of my favorite sights.... on the way out to Twin Falls, one of the local spots to hike up to...

Crossed one of the creeks fed by the Twin Falls.

One of the Falls!

Easy hike up the trail to get closer!

These falls are not far apart, so can be viewed at the same time..

Here are both of them.

And then down to a lake fed by those falls and the River.

On the way back to the campground from the Falls area, Den spotted an Eagle's nest.

A sculpture in town (actually wood carving ) in the downtown area.

Some thistle blooms behind our camper.... along the river.

And so, this ended our visit to the Smithers Fort Telkwa area...  

I am STILL catching up, so STAY TUNED!!!!!!
