Wishing Well Falls

Wishing Well Falls is a curious and special find located in a hidden clump of trees on the side of Highway 20 opposite the Tidal Flats and the Alexander MacKenzie Monument, east of the BC Ferry Terminal and west of the community of Bella Coola, BC, Canada. The little enclave is a local Wishing Well with a small waterfall, pond and sitting benches.

The Wishing Well is located on the opposite side of the highway, a few steps west of the monument, behind a group of trees and hidden from view. Listen closely and you can here the waterfall but not see it. Once behind the trees, a small enclave appears stacked up against some rock cliffs covered in moss, shrubs and dew.

The waterfall is the highlight of the side trip. It tumbles down the polished rocks into a small pond of wishes. To the side of the falls is some massive tree roots with a primitive set of sitting benches. In the far corner is a climbing rope, to who knows where? The Wishing Well is a nice, easy access, tour that may not be on your agenda that is worth a quick visit.

And maybe good things to come.
