Enderby Cliffs, BC

I have never been lost so much
as "geographically challenged" at times.
Finding Enderby Cliffs was one of those times.
Enderby Cliffs Provincial Park
is a hikers dream come true.
The cliffs are actually volcanic rock,
the park has old growth Douglas Fir trees,
the area leading to the park is low grasslands
that is a photographers dream true.
The park is located
located 19km (11.8miles) northeast of Armstrong, BC.
Three trails can be hiked here, rated from easy to difficult, the
Reeves Lake trail being the easiest and the Enderby Cliffs
trail is difficult.
I wasn't able to hike these trails on this outing,
but Enderby Cliffs Provincial Park
is definitely on my "go back and explore further" list.

Courtenay River, Comox Valley, British Columbia, Canada

The views along the Courtenay River
in British Columbia, Canada
are nothing but spectacular.
Courtenay is situated in the
Comox Valley region of
Vancouver Island.
I love the laid back and
relaxed atmosphere of
this whole area. The
rhythms of life take
on a more subtle and
"attached to the earth" feel, and
nature treats your senses to
a daily dose of nirvana.

The word Comox is derived
from a First Nations
term that means
Place of Plenty.
Which is understandable, since
the Comox Valley is full of
rich farmlands, mountain vistas,
lakes and rivers, and all
manner of wild critters.
And some really fun tubing
on the Courtenay River!
