The next Texada Trekkers hike is cancelled.

Owing to the danger we all face from the spread of the Covid-19 virus pandemic Texada Trekkers hikes will be on hold from now on.  Meanwhile it's still good to get outdoors into the fresh air and if you are able to do some walking our island has many roads and trails to use while maintaining the appropriate social distancing.

Details of many of the trails on Texada are available on a website maintained by a worldwide hiking trail online company.  Anyone can view the maps and photos without downloading the app.

Last week we drove again to the area just south of Pocahontas Bay and parked at the bottom of the road that goes up to the towers on top of Pocahontas Mountain. From our parking place the route climbs steadily through mossy forest eventually reaching an area where the road is more sunny and open.  Towards the end the road steepens and zigzags and there are chance views towards the mainland.  As you can see from the photo we had fantastic weather for hiking and even the powerful wind that was cooling the west side of Texada that day did not reach us at all!

Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 14th March.

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

Last week we had a damp cloudy day for our hike and decided to hike directly from the Ballpark for a change.  The destination was Cap Sheaf Lake where we sat on the small rocky area at the south end and were thankful that the rain was very light and the air was quite calm so it didn't feel at all uncomfortable after all.

The photo this week shows how we sometimes find interesting things to do with natural history, rocks, plants, insects and so on, and like to have a record for later identification. It's nice to have someone willing and happy to help with keeping the camera from getting wet – thanks Terry!

The hikers often spot interesting features of the natural history along the trails, and photos provide a record of the discovery.  [MM photo]

Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 7th March.

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

Last week we hiked into a part of the island that we have been neglecting for a very long time even though it's really not all that far from Van Anda. The route starts near the bottom of the access road to the Pocahontas towers, but branches off onto an old logging road that heads to the south. Much of this area is forest covered, and not recently logged so the forest is mature enough to be quite open with thick moss covering the forest floor.  The trail climbs steadily for a long way, then drops sharply until reaching the north end of the remote Bladderwort Lake. The only spot with anything that might be classed as a view offers just a glimpse of the Georgia Strait in the far distance.

Once again another lovely day for our hike, this time to the bluff on the hillside above seldom visited Bladderwort Lake. TH photo
