バンクーバー島の峡谷・トップ5

Hole-in-the-Wall is a small but unique natural waterfall. The waterfall gets its name from a literal hole in the wall, creating a “keyhole” effect that’s especially exciting after rain or during spring runoff. Mossy rock walls, ferns, and dense coastal forest surround this waterfall.

A sturdy steel suspension bridge enclosed with chain-link fencing, stretching high above Haslam Creek. Its grated walkway offers clear views down to the forested canyon below, making it one of the most memorable spots along the trail. The bridge is narrow, so hikers cross single-file, surrounded by tall trees and the sound of rushing water beneath.

Great and easy to explore cave.

At low tide, we continue west along the shoreline. After scrambling over the sharp-edged rocks, we find ourselves below the cliff edge of the rock formation, which is gradually being pushed back by the tides and storm surges.

On the way to Mystic Beach, about 1 km from the parking lot, we cross the Pete Wolfe Creek gorge on a suspension bridge. The waters of Pete Wolfe Creek flow into the Juan de Fuca Strait as a waterfall near China Beach.

I didn't see the old car. Maybe it's no longer there. But the hike is worth it. Don't forget your hiking poles if you're not quite so young.

not a biking trail

Lovely gorge on the Trans Canada Trail. Not well marked in places and when Komoot comes into its own! Also did a side trip up to the Thistle Mine, well worth it.
