Today, we explored Tofino, starting with my early morning run along the impressive paved Multi-Use Path, which runs for 23 kilometers across the Pacific Rim National Park. I didn’t run 23 kilometers, but it made for a great, car-free run. Bob started his morning with a walk around town, on which he discovered some big heads that we photographed later.
We had a rare breakfast out at a local bakery just a couple blocks from our stay, and we sat upstairs and watched a street crew dig up a road. It seems to be the time of year in this part of the world. . .
We then headed off to find and walk the Tonquin Trail and the Tonquin Connector Trail, which connects the Tonquin to the multi-use path that you can bring back into town. The Tonquin Trail begins at Tonquin Beach and then heads through almost a rain forest type environment to Third Beach and Middle Beach.
This part of the world is crazy with islands,
so no island is an island, if you know what I mean.
at the lovely Wickaninnish Inn, which we drove to
where I unintentionally got a selfie of the two of us
We are surprised at the level of activity here. We thought that mid-week in mid-September, it might be fairly quiet, but it’s still busy with people, though likely not as busy as in the height of summer. We’re heading to the Pacific Rim National Park tomorrow.
