Misty Forest

 At the camp at Tzoonie Narrows




The campground is reported to be on the site of an old hippie commune. A few bits of old equipment lurk under the moss.

First Light at Halfway Beach

From a September trip in Sechelt Inlet


Do they have to share one worm?



 It's a nice spot with a generous sweep of beach.

South toward Sechelt

First sign of sun


We had a great trip, despite extra rain. The campsites were all delightful, and it felt good to be on the water.

On Falls Lookout Ridge

A hike in the Alberta Rockies







There's a network of these old fire lookouts along the mountain range. I don't think they've seen use in over a decade.

 The helipad 



Beautiful weather!







A nicely eroded section of creek bed


 This tree endured a savage beating from a mudslide. Half of its bark is still there and it is still trying.

Keystone

 An overnight hiking trip on the Keystone Trail North of Revelstoke, BC


The wildflowers are awesome...

The legendary waterfall in the main basin

Viewed from above
The area is full of creeks, lakes and meadows.



Lots of wildflowers, even blue ones...
And some nice peaks, too...





Very nice scenery, and a reasonable, moderate hike to get there.
