Elk Falls

August 12, 2015

elk_falls-15-07-254852-1

This may not look all that scary to you. But it sure was to us. What you don’t see is the deceivingly calm water hole just 20 metres upstream (there’s a sign that says no lifeguard on duty!) And the other thing you don’t see—is a very large waterfall just 10 metres downstream. There have been fatalities here.
This spring a 60 metre suspension bridge—65 metres above the canyon floor was opened to the public. Also new is a viewing platform at edge of the canyon wall. The platform provides an unimpeded view of the falls. Some snapshots below:

Telegraph Cove, Vancouver Island

August 7, 2015

Telegraph Cove, Vancouver Island

The stories about remote west coast life in the early days of Telegraph Cove are eye-opening. Many of the early buildings remain. Several of the homes and cabins on pilings along the town’s boardwalk can be rented. Some of the paint could use a touch-up. Or not.
