Nairn Falls

We just had a very busy weekend and with a few camping pictures to share from the weekend before there'll be a bit of a local backlog before we get back to Africa. While in the interior we camped at a site called Nairn Falls which had a very nice campground and a pleasant but short hike. The trail lead up to Nairn Falls themselves which were a series of whitewater falls as you can see below.
There were also spots closer to the river further from the falls where you could dip your toes in the glacial melt and enjoy the sun; but even on a hot day I would be hard pressed to want to get too far in the water. People had entertained themselves in other ways by making little inukshuks out of stray river stones.
The view just from our campsite was quite striking with a lovely view up into the mountains. There were jet boat tours running through the rapids and up to the falls but we didn't find the time to take one in. You can click on the panorama below to enlarge it.
