A two-night backpacking trip to Kwai Lake—a little piece of paradise on Forbidden Plateau in Strathcona Park.
This adventure was a bit spontaneous. My husband sent me a link to an article about Kwai Lake, and the pictures were so stunning that I knew we needed to go there. One week later we (my husband, 9-year-old twins, and I) were on our way to Kwai Lake through some of the most stunning scenery I have ever had the privilege of hiking through.
A quick hike around a stunning lake in the Cowichan Valley, and then a quick dip in the serene waters of Spectacle Lake.
Looking for a new romantic location to send my lovers to, and needing to get some exercise for an upcoming multi-day backpacking trip to Cape Scott (stay tuned in August!), I headed to Spectacle Lake for a hike and a swim.
Even though Spectacle Lake is only about a thirty minute drive from my house, I had never been before; however, a very trustworthy source told me that it was serene and lovely—perfect for romantic assignations.
A mountain biking adventure on the Cowichan Valley Trail on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.
After a bit of a mess up with our initial plan (read the Sooke Hills Trail post for details), my family (husband and nine-year-old twins) found ourselves at the access point to the Cowichan Valley Trail near the McGee Creek Trestle, deciding whether we should go north towards the iconic Kinsol Trestle or south towards Victoria.
A mountain biking adventure in the Sooke Wilderness Park, in Victoria, BC, Canada
Today’s adventure was a bit of cross country mountain biking as a family. We started out on the Sooke Hills Wilderness trail, but at about 2 kms in, we came to a portion where the trail was closed due to a landslide, so we headed back to the van and came up with a different route—which I will detail in a separate post.
For our hike today, my twins and I wandered along the Lochside Trail in Victoria, BC, Canada.
Today’s hike took myself and my 9-year old twins along the Lochside Trail, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lochside trail stretches all the way from Victoria to the BC Ferries Terminal at Schwartz Bay. These are the ferries you would take, if you were coming to Vancouver Island from Vancouver on the mainland.
