Chasm Provincial Park

At the close of the Ice Age about 10,000 years ago, a stream fed by melting ice cascaded over a falls forming this chasm by cutting into some of the lava flows that helped to build the Fraser Plateau. Individual lava flows are shown here by the horizontal layering (left hand side of the pic). When the glacial ice finally disappeared, the flow of meltwater stopped. (September 2019)

Individual lava flows are shown here by the horizontal layering. When the glacial ice finally disappeared, the flow of meltwater stopped. We could hear the sound of water falling in the distance. The Chasm can be accessed by taking Highway 97 to 16 km north of Clinton, and then driving 4 km to the park on a paved road east of Highway 97. It can also be accessed from further north off Highway 97 about 15 km southwest of 70 Mile House. (September 2019)
