E. C. Manning Provincial Park

The Manning Provincial Park includes most of the Hozameen Range sub-range of the Canadian Cascades. The terrain varies from wet coastal rain forests to jagged snow-capped peaks, alpine meadows, small lakes and broad rivers (i.e. Similkameen River) along the valley floors. There are also Rhododendron Flats near the park's western entrance. On our way to Lightning Lake we saw a black bear posing especially for us!
