Chris Hatfield Trail Part Three

Yeo Point
There’s a nice pebble beach in the bay and a large smooth rock areas at the point. Views extend across to the Channel Islands and to the Beaver Point area. I could hear announcements as a ferry passed several kilometres away. Other than that, the sights and sounds were perfect.
OK, that’s it for the Chris Hatfield Trail. As mentioned earlier, the built structures and other surprises (which I did photograph…) remain for you to discover as you walk another of Salt Spring Island’s interesting hiking trails.
Chris Hatfield Trail Part Two

The trail crosses a small bridge over this stream. This is the intersection; left is a short downhill walk to the south side of Cusheon Cove. Or straight ahead to a slightly longer walk down to Yeo Point, on the edge of Ruckle Provincial Park.
Chris Hatfield Trail Part One

Recent foggy days have turned the ‘moss switch’ on. The trees and rocks seem to glow.
I took advantage of the dreary weather to explore a south Salt Spring Island trail. It turns out to be a gem—a fun walk through a cedar forest full of surprising things to look at while listening to the sounds of rushing streams and distant ocean activity. It would be a disservice to document all the creations—and spoil the surprise.
You can find out yourself if you’re on the Island. To get to the start of the trail: south on Beaver Point Road, left on Bullman, then right down Meyer to the end. Lots of parking at the turn around. It’s an easy, slightly downhill trail about one kilometre in length.
Perfectly Clear

I think this is often the best time of day.
The dark about 45 minutes before the sun rises.
Peaceful, solitary, stunning.
