Kaska Falls

Sept 15, 2002

I asked around for a place to hike around Grande Prairie and was told that there was nothing except this place in the middle of nowhere.  The directions specifically mentioned that a 4x4 was necessary to get to the trailhead.  Usually this kind of comment is overstated, but not in this case.  I have never driven over such a horrible road and was definitely the furthest back country I've ever driven.  The power steering gave out on the way in and I had the privilige of driving out without out it.  4x4ing is much harder without the power steering.

After I finally made it to the trailhead, I realized I didn't have enough gas to make it back.  There was a little hole in the wall gas station I could make it to, but had no idea what hours they kept on a Sunday.  I pretty much ran to the falls (thank god they were close), took a couple pictures and started the long drive out.  Spectacular waterfalls, though.
