Winter Salt Spring Splendor

Winter Salt Spring Splendor

This somewhat unofficial trail—and by unofficial I mean it’s not marked and you have to hunt for it—is at the very end of Isabella Point Road then left to the end of Maxam Road. And, if you live on the north end of the island (what we used to call 537) you better pack a lunch for the roadtrip there. On the plus side, Cameron and I saw no one, heard only the stream nearby and the soft landing of light rain. The winter wetness illuminated the green of the moss of Mount Tuam Ecological Reserve…

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.
