Английская Википедия:Baileys Chute
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox waterfall Baileys Chute, often misspelled Bailey's Chute, is one in a series of small waterfalls along the Clearwater River in Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada. With an average high flow rate of Шаблон:Cvt, it is one of the largest waterfalls in British Columbia.[1]
Name origin
Baileys Chute is named after Jim Bailey, an engineer who drowned in 1952 after his canoe capsized in the river just downstream of the falls.[2]
Structure
The falls take the form of a gradual sliding cascade. The force of the water impacting the river produces a 1.5 metre tall standing wave that propagates downstream from the falls. This indicates the presence of a significant undercut in the riverbed with an estimated depth of Шаблон:Cvt.[1]
Salmon
Baileys Chute is a good place to view the Chinook as they try to leap the falls from mid-August through September. They are the largest of the Pacific salmon, weighing from 8 kg to 22 kg. Most spawn at The Horseshoe further downstream after a life cycle of four to six years.[3]
