Both the water and a great deal of sediment from the Capilano would move into Burrard Inlet if not held again by the 91 meter concrete walls of the Cleveland Dam. The fossil site is definitely accessible from Vancouver and best visited within the summer time months when water levels are low. Take the North Vancouver exit toward the ferries. Look for beds of sandstone about 200 meters north of the non-public bridge and just south of the Highway bridge.

Following our go to to Etty Bay (see following put up) we headed additional south to Tully for an overnight stay with pals Jason Grotherr and Debbie Grant. We drove further south to the Paluma Range National Park for a two-evening keep in the large Crystal Creek camping floor. We drove up the mountain early within the morning for a day within the highland rainforests around Paluma on Mt Spec, strolling the village roads and trails including the H2 circuit, McClellands Lookout and Cloudy Creek. It was fascinating to see Bower Shrike-thrushes hopping concerning the lawns of Paluma. The record of birds seen at Paluma is right here. White-gaped Honeyeater was widespread here.
