Little Qualicum Falls is so named not because the falls are little but because they are on the Little Qualicum River. There is a Big Qualicum River which can claim superiority. It crosses Vancouver Island from East to West and has a walkable trail along the whole ten kilometres. I learned this today from a friend who knows a lot more than I do about the rivers, the trails, and the falls.
We spent a delightful morning on the trails near the falls and I took a lot of photos of the trail, the trees, the fungi, and the falls which I will post in due course. Here to whet your appetite, is a video of the falls which were in full flood after a month of rain. You should come here!

Quite impressive!
It is fabulous!
@snowbirdofparadise.com Nice pics. Looks like it is time for another trip to the falls. Little mountain and Englishman River Falls are nice if you are still local. A couple of pods of Orcas were visible today heading up island past Qualicam. Enjoy your visit.

Thank you for the kind words, Webstech, and thank you for the suggestions. I enjoyed my visit two years ago so much that I moved here and now live in Nanaimo! I will keep an eye out for those Orcas.
How stunningly beautiful! If only I didn’t live so far away… Cxx
You would love it here, Carol. And you are welcome to visit any time!
