Rugged coast

It is a rugged, rocky coast on the western side of Vancouver Island and thick rainforest grows down to the water's edge. National Park paths make walking easy but without these it would be hard bush bashing.Cougars, wolves, deer and bears live in the forests. We saw a cougar paw print.

Lots of wood is piled on the beaches by the tides. Timber getting is a big industry in the area and the logs are floated down the waterways, between islands.
