Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 18th September.

We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.

Last week we had a cool but dry day and hiked from Russ Creek Bridge down to the beach at Northeast Bay. The route is mainly along an old logging road that had become seriously overgrown until a few years ago when the hard working Texada Trail Breakers did a great job of clearing the obstructions. The bay, the small island and part of the area of mainly more mature forest adjacent to the bay is a provincial UREP [crown land designated for the Use, Recreation and Enjoyment of the Public]. Russ Creek that runs past the spot where we park reaches the sea here and has a lovely pair of rock pools and a small waterfall just a few steps into the forest. My photo shows the falls and splash pool with mossy rocks all around. What a lovely hidden treasure!
