BC’s answer to seeing the fall colors… “massive trees, majestic waterfalls, a meandering river that meets the sea, flowers, birds and fascinating fish are but a few of the attractions that draw people to Goldstream Provincial Park, a mere 16 km from downtown Victoria on southern Vancouver Island (in British Columbia, Canada). The park is also the site of an annual chum salmon spawning run, which draws thousands of salmon – and visitors – every year. The best time for viewing is late October through November. Riverside trails and observation platforms provide extraordinary opportunities to view this natural phenomenon, which also attracts Bald eagles, who swoop down to devour the bodies of the spawned out salmon.”
