These are the days of our lives. Our posts are intended to record and convey the experiences we are so lucky to be enjoying. The photos will hopefully make up where the posts fall short. As with all things, expect little and you may be pleasantly surprised!!
Touring the Pacific Rim (Part 1)
When the road between Port Alberni and the Pacific Rim communities of Ucluelet and Tofino was etched from the wilderness in the early 1900s, logs were used as a base to traverse boggy terrain. Today, the road is Highway 4. The "Road to Tofino" as locals like to call it, begins at Port Alberni, a city of 30,000 that is the hub of the Pacific Rim and the self-proclaimed Salmon Capital of the World.
We travelled from Parksville to Port Alberni, atop the mountainous backbone of Vancouver Island, where Highway 4 gets up close and personal with old growth rain forest.
Cameron Lake on Highway 4, is renowned for its excellent fishing opportunities. It's a long, narrow body of water and the day we visited the weather was fine and the calm waters of Cameron Lake mirrored the surrounding hills magnificently.
