Yesterday morning I went out early to discover for myself a hike I had heard/read good things about from others, like my friend and fellow blogger: Donna. This hike is also listed in a recent book purchase – Seaside Walks on Vancouver Island by Theo Dombrowski. I’ll let the pictures and the captions do the talking, from here:
A great place to dive in and start exploring the seaside walks. The author says there is a petroglyph of salmon to be seen on the walk! You know I am not leaving until I find it.View of the harbour city of Nanaimo, from the start of the seaside walk. It’s starting to get spectacular out here!Sandstone “carvings” all along the shore. Caused by salt crystals “growing” in the rock, according to a sign posted along the trail.On the hunt for the petroglyph, checking out some carved out sandstone. Wait, what’s that in the distance?!?!Could this rock be it?Success! Thank you, Theo Dombrowski. 🙂More weird and wonderful sandstone.Yet another beautiful view from this trail.At the very point of it all.Watching the Tsawwassen ferry load, from my driftwood seat.Last look back as I round the point.And there she goes! Heading for the mainland.There is plenty to eat on this trail should you forget to pack a snack. Sometimes I feel like Nanaimo-area is just one big blackberry bramble… 😉Looks like it was a good hike. Someone’s feet had a lot of fun 😉Back home, watching Jack Point leave my feet (and sandals!)Very happy with this purchase so far! Hmmm…which walk should I do next? 🙂
And how was your (Canadian) long weekend? Do tell!
