New Parks Bench

BC Parks has installed a new bench on the deck of the Wilderness Centre, facing east toward the Paradise Meadows trailhead. The bench will have a plaque stating: “Dedicated to everyone who made BC Parks centennial year a great success. Thank you for your commitment and passion. 100 Years – 2011”.

Should be a great place to relax & catch some rays!

Parks Rangers Zsana and Jeff also recently installed the Panorama signs on the deck railing facing south toward the mountains. The upper railing sign was a re-install and they added a new, identical, lower sign on the vertical railing posts this year, so that those visitors in wheel-chairs as well as children would be able to have equal opportunity to view the same sign.

The mountain panorama photo on the signs is by Chris Carter, more of his work can be viewed here.
