I’ve been wanting to do this walk for a while and people were always going when i was at work. I finally managed to go on Tuesday with my friend and her neighbours dog. It’s an unmaintained trail that Parks Canada do not advise use of- but it’s really fun. A very steep climb down with some rope sections and lots of tricky bits with roots made it interesting. Towards the bottom of the climb it gets muddier and boggier which is also amusing. This isn’t a very long walk at all but it’s difficult, especially as it was pretty warm when we went.
The gorgeous sandy beach at the bottom was empty of people and we waded through tidal pools looking at shorebirds and along by the sea for a bit. The sand was hot on our feet and we found a little hut built out of driftwood. We braced ourselves for the climb back and hauled ourselves back up the hill to the car. We got back sweaty, muddy and sandy- which is exactly how you should be on a day off! We followed this walk by going to Kennedy Lake for a swim and an afternoon nap. Perfect!
#28 Sand,mud and sweat- also short and sweet, we were out for a couple of hours- probably just a couple of KM but steep.
