North Coast Trail

After a long delay, we finally got a window in which to hike the North Coast Trail near the end of August. We spent five nights and six days hiking the trail from east to west, which included a day touring the Cape Scott Lighthouse area before returning to our car. The weather was a mixed bag - we had everything from fog to mist to gorgeous sunshine. Luckily, it did not rain. Although some of the beaches were beautiful, the highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the boat ride to the trailhead. We came upon a pod of orcas and spent close to half an hour bobbing in the waves watching them feed around the boat. None of us had seen orcas in the wild before. It was a special treat.

Happy that we're home...
