Kokanee Creek and Canyon (Aug30)


We had a pretty campsite and we decided to spend the day in the area. In the morning we walked over to the Spawning grounds because the salmon run was in progress. Lots of sock eye Salmon were trying to leap the little falls in the river. We spoke to one of the workers who was fishing the dead salmon out of the river. Some had their heads missing and this is an indication that a bear had been down to the river to feed on the dying fish.
Then we decided to take the canyon trail, following the Kokanee creek. The rcreek was strewn with big boulders and the path was rough, several times we had to scramble over the rocks. A very pleasant morning.
