What gave rise to the Medicine Bowls Courtenay? Beautiful pools and waterfalls formed in the rocks of the bowls by hundreds of millions of years of erosion. Thrill seekers jump in the bowls. Further down is a swimming hole and a rope swing, although I didn’t try either. I was here to photography this popular location.
The waterfalls at the Medicine Bowls are actually a series of three cascades, with each one tumbling down into a large pool below. The pools are popular swimming holes in summer, but can be dangerous due to fast-moving currents and cold water temperatures.
The best time to photograph the bowls are during high water flows in winter and late spring, when all three cascades are flowing strongly.
Getting to the lower bowls will not be easy. You will need to climb down a steep embankment and, where necessary, use the rope provided. Use caution, as the rocks are slippery and sharp at the bottom. It would be easy to twist an ankle and stumble.
Once there, you will see a bank of polished rocks as the result of the erosion. Beautiful to see and photograph. There is also a large swimming hole at the bottom and a rope swing. I made my way around to the opposite side to photograph the falls. Once done, go back the way you came. There is more to see!
Back at the road look for a plaque nailed to a tree commemorating the two boys who drowned here in 2001. Follow the trail as it leads you to the upper pools and the gorgeous streams carved into smooth rocks through millions or thousands of years of erosion. Be cautious as the rock can be slippery. This is another fantastic place to set up and photograph the area.

Tips for photographing waterfalls in a medicine bowl include using a wide-angle lens and a telephoto to capture the entire waterfall. I prefer using a slower shutter speed to get that silky smooth water look.
A slow shutter speed is typically used to photograph waterfalls, as it helps capture that silky smooth water look. Start with a shutter speed of 1/4 second and adjust as needed based on conditions (more on this in our how to photography waterfall guide).
2) A small aperture (higher f-stop number) will help ensure everything from foreground to background is in sharp focus. Again, start with f/8 or f/11 and adjust as needed based on conditions and your desired depth of field effect
