Harris Creek Canyon - between Port Renfrew and Cowichan Lake

Harris Creek Canyon - between Port Renfrew and Cowichan Lake

From Places I've wandered

Cruising around corners on the back route between Port Renfrew and Lake Cowichan we came upon this bridge shooting across Harris Creek and the Island Alpinist (Karsten) wanted to check out a site for a possible rappel.

From Places I've wandered

I looked down at the water below

From Places I've wandered

and figured I'd find a way down closer..

From Places I've wandered

or at least for a better view ;)

From Places I've wandered

Two birds came swooping down the canyon just a few inches off of the cold green water

From Places I've wandered

One of them landed on the rock wall across the creek

From Places I've wandered

As I continued down to the edge of the water where it stretched out and calmed down

From Places I've wandered

to a place where I could stop for a few moments and pause; and ponder...

From Places I've wandered

before making my way once more up the hillside through the sword fern carpet and the red alder stands

From Places I've wandered

From Places I've wandered

and with that it was time to head out on our way once again

From Places I've wandered

farewell Che

From Places I've wandered

Next we'll travel by old forest industry remains and discover the tale of the kidnapping of Pedro! See you soon!
