Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests in Kwai Lake, Canada

  7 km from Vancouver Island


This photo was taken at Kwai Lake in Strathcona Provincial Park, BC. We had hiked nearly 10km in the rain that day and were overjoyed when we finally arrived at our beautiful destination. While we were setting up camp for the night, I managed to sneak off to capture the fog over the lake, welcoming us to the area.

This is a small creak leading to Battleship lake in Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island. It was beautiful in Winter but I bet it is even better in the summer. This place is now on my summer camping bucket list.

travelers stories about Forest in Lone Cone, Canada

Forest in Lone Cone, Canada

  59 km from Vancouver Island


I hiked Lone Cone in Tofino with my husband and dog. The trees are very dense , so when you’re looking at the island from the other side of the water, you can’t tell that the ground is covered in icy snow. What struck me was the contrast of the vibrant green with the snowy patches…and looking up gave my eyes a bit of relief from the intensity, only to find this soothing view.

Forest in Tofino, Canada

  64 km from Vancouver Island


While venturing into an old forest in Tofino, British Columbia I could help but be mesmerized by just how thick some of the trees trunks were. I came across this trunk that sprawled like roots and was fascinated by its shape and all the moss growing on top of it.

This was the view from the front deck of the cottage I stayed at in Tofino this past weekend. Before you get too jealous, it rained most of the weekend so we didn’t get a chance to use these chairs. However, it cleared up the last day right before we left and I got this photo.

travelers stories about Canoeing in Qualicum Beach, Canada

Canoeing in Qualicum Beach, Canada

  80 km from Vancouver Island


We were spending the week in Qualicum, BC and decided one evening to take our kayaks out to enjoy the sunset. Shortly after setting out on the water everything calmed down and the water turned to glass. I never thought the ocean could be so calm. The sunset was amazing as well. Purple hues were cast over the mountains in the distance. Everything reflected off the water like a mirror. It felt like we were in a dream.
