Notch Hill and Moorecroft Regional Park

Last post from Nanoose Bay.  

We took a couple of short drives to do a few short hikes on our last day on the Island.  The next morning we were getting up early to make the 8:25 ferry to the mainland.

Notch Hilll was a short steep climb and provided a great view of the bay that was below our suite.  It also provided some interesting forest shots.




The Arbutus tree is quite unique and beautiful.  The bark seems to shed leaving a beautiful smooth gold skin.  





Dappled sunlight making its way through the canopy of spruce trees overhead lights up the leaves below. 



A short drive to the other side of the peninsula took us to the coast and a great view of the Straight of Georgia.  Moorecroft Regional Park is a nice picnic area with a short hike from the parking lot to the waters edge.




Tide pools and the sea weed provide some interesting shots. 

 


Hard to see but this Harbour Seal was keeping an eye on us. 







 Up next.  Lake Louise.
