Despite a “cloudy day” forecast, this was the scene near the top of Mount Erskine.

Mount Erskine forest as seen from one of the northern trails.
Douglas fir, Salal, moss, ferns and rock on an overcast west coast morning.
Good for the soul.

Lovely view above the fog from the summit of Mount Erskine to the Maple Bay area on Vancouver Island.

Looking west and north from Salt Spring’s Mount Erskine.
These hardy quartz faces seem to be emerging from the bordering softer rock on Lassie’s Trail near the summit (see this previous post about hiking Mount Erskine).
The fir needles scattered with wild abandon remind me what mat inside our front door looks like after a hike this time of year.
Photographs of Salt Spring Island and areas reachable by ferry and road (and sometimes off-road).
