Carmanah Point Lighthouse

Sandstone

Exposed sandstone shelf at low tide, on the way to Bonilla Point.

Popcorn

Looking up at cloud patterns through the trees makes one feel so small on the trial.

Creek and Cable Car

Walbran Creek and, in the distance, the cable car to cross it when it is in flood. Otherwise it's easy enough to ford at low tide.

Boardwalk and Bog

In between the temperate rainforest are small patches of open bogland.

Suspended

Amazing, frightening and unique suspension bridge across Logan Creek.

Ladders

Not for the faint of heart.

Pacheedaht

Beachside camping.

Calcite Art

This formation is known as the Smiling Buddha. Others see Jabba the Hut. Either way, it's an amazing calcite formation. Riverbend Cave, Horne Lake Caves park.

Swellet

Looking up at the entrance to Riverbend Cave, at Horne Lake Caves park.
