Wells Gray campground and hiking advice?
DW is a waterfall fan, so off we go in September to Wells Gray. (Gary Haupt's photos of that area are very persuasive!) Hoping that the smoke from the wildfires will die down by then. So here is...

We last visiting here on the way back from Jasper. With a full drive from Mt Robeson, Pyramid CG was a convenient first night (after a stop at the visitor center near the highway in Clearwater). According the parks website, this campground is open offseason.
We spent the next day gradually continuing north to Clearwater.
The next day we worked our way out, and spent the night in town with laundry and restaurant meal.
From Pyramid we hiked along the river to Dawson Falls.
We drove to Helmcken falls.
We walked around Ray Farm.
Osprey Falls is visible from Clearwater Lake CG. From there we hiked part of Dragon's Tongue. On an previous trip we also hiked Easter Bluffs.
Spahats Falls is close to town on the way in or out.
Those are the highlights along the Corridor.
Pyramid is a newer campground, so sites should be easy to use, but shade limited.
Clearwater is an older campground, and some of the sites may be challenge for a large rig. In Sept you'll have a choice of sites, but I don't recall many with backyard-views of the falls.
The main road turns gravel somewhat north of the Dawson/Helmcken Falls area.
