Rambling along the Lower Cowichan River Trail

What a wonderful day!

My fellow hikers were very amiable and kind enough to wait up for me! The last time I did this hike, five years ago, the total hike was an hour less. But not any more beautiful!

Some great infrastructure, some great stairs and bridges

But some of the boardwalk is in disrepair

And the bridge at Holt Creek is gone

Luckily, though, the creek was low enough for us to easily cross

A beautiful forest

I love the sound of the fallen leaves crunching underfoot

Marvellous views of the river

I wonder what the attraction is in this activity! But at least they’re outside.

Yes, a beautiful hike, but it ain’t gettin’ any easier!
