British Columbia - Pacific Rim, Part II



Another beautiful day here on the west coast of Vancouver Island.  We are staying outside of Ucluelet.  Our plan for the day was to hike the Wild Pacific Trail.  The entire trail is about 5 miles in two main sections along the coast of Ucluelet.  We first traversed the first section, Lighthouse Loop, which circles the tip of the peninsula.  Along with the view of the lighthouse were numerous benches with many spectacular overlooks.  We really took our time on this trail – stopping at every scenic overlook and there were lots. Barbara even found her first British Columbia letterbox.

Here is the lighthouse.

Bill continued on the second section.  Here is one of his shots.

Then we went back to our campsite. Here is the view from our campsite (a bit hard to shoot with contrasting lighting and branches in the way).

Another beautiful day at the Pacific Ocean!
