One of our favourite hikes is to Ammonite Falls. The falls can be found to the north west end of Mt Benson. There, Benson Creek drops toward Brannen Lake, and cuts a steep ravine into the hillside. It exposes millions of years worth of sedimentary layers, providing fossils and a tall, sometimes-wide waterfall. It's called Ammonite Falls for the snail-like sea creatures whose interesting fossils can be found, as well as fossils of clams and oysters.
