Spooky forest

The fog in this second growth rain forest has a spooky feeling to it. Juan de Fuca park.

Old Trestle

While hiking in Goldstream, we came across this trestle. It is very high up, at least 60 meters and there are no railings.

Still in use?

I don’t think this trestle is used much anymore. The rails looked pretty rusty and I didn’t see any trains. If there was a commuter train between the Cowichan Valley and Victoria, it would run on these tracks, so there is definitely potential there.

Another use?

I like the ideas of taking old railways and converting them into mixed use pathways. Railways are particularly good because of their nice grade. This would be a great way to get from the Cowichan Valley to Victoria via bicycle, just like the Kettle Valley Rail Tral.

Leaves at Goldstream

Decided to go for a hike at Goldstream, the leaves looked so green and amazing.
