Birthday Visitors Day

Paradise Meadows is a great place to celebrate a birthday apparently - over 30 friends & family of an 85-year-old birthday girl  came up to stroll the boardwalk & have a picnic lunch outside the Wilderness Centre. The sturdy wheelchairs that the Centre has on hand came in handy for the visitors. The watermelon was much appreciated on such a hot day!

Recent Park visitors have included Canadians from all over BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec & Nova Scotia; Americans from Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Minnesota, Colorado, North Carolina, Arkansas, Texas, Florida & New York; Europeans from the UK, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, &  Czech Republic; and other visitors from even farther: Australia, New Zealand, & Panama!

After a few weeks of not visiting, there was once again a young black bear seen in the meadows, on  the east side of the Centennial loop.
