We went for some hikes in big trees that are very hard to capture, but absolutely beautiful, and a touch overwhelming!

More exploration! I hear in spring the water flows through here much faster :)

We hike Mount Benson, it was a super fun steep climb and had a wonderful view of the ocean from the top. We got there right before the fog rolled in and you could see anything which is always my favourite time as it transitions from clear to foggy.

I decided to head out to Carmanah to try to do the Heaven Tree hike, this was a stop along the way on Lake Cowichan

I found a hike with huge trees, but it turned out to be the wrong hike. It was getting a little late so it was not very bright and these pictures didn't turn out super well. But it was incredible hiking down this valley and every time I thought I had seem the biggest tree another one would come up.

Another adventure, lets head out to Tofino!

We went to this beach which was at the end of a boardwalk through a lush forest.

Next up is heading back to Odessa for a quick visit, my parents were retiring so Hallie and I were coming home for a bit for a little celebration. I took the ferry to Vancouver, which was my first time in the city. I didn't have a chance to do much but I did get laksa for dinner which was amazing before continuing to Abbotsford to catch my plane. I landed in Toronto and Hallie and I got some food before heading to Odessa.

And I'm back in BC! I decided to go for a day trip to Vancouver island and Claire and I would do a little adventuring down to Victoria. Some absolutely gorgeous hikes and we were there at the right time because fish were traveling up stream! So fun and interesting to get to see that!
