Default Hey, canucks....

Have any of you ever been here?

Quote:
Spotted Lakes, Canada

About a mile north of the border between Washington State and British Columbia, Canada, you’ll find what’s sure to be the weirdest body of water you’ve ever seen. The Spotted Lake – known as Klikuk in the indigenous language – divides itself into a strange patchwork of white, green and yellow pools in the summertime. The ‘walkways’ in between the pools are actually made up of salts, titanium, calcium, sulphates and other minerals.



I got it from this site:

Blood Rivers and Stone Forests: 15 Alien Landscapes | WebEcoist | Weird, Strange Amazing

I really want to visit a few of them, one being "The Wave" on the Arizona/Utah border.

Anyone been to any of these? Have any cool pics to show?

I went when I was REALLY young... there are photos in one of my photoboxes.. maybe I'll try and dig them out tomorrow.

It was pretty neat. I'd love to go back now that I'm grown enough to appreciate it and have a DSLR. :P

Oh weird, I drove past that lake about 6 times in the past 2 years. I kept seeing it and thinking how strange it looked but didn't think you could go visit it, ha ha. It's not terribly far from me though.

It's now on my list of "Places I must see before I die."

How awesome you live so close!
