We took a 8 km hike along the southern coast of the park, leading to a lighthouse at the point. We were both pretty tired when we got back, but really enjoyed it. Lots of hills but we made it.
Our rewards along the way included:
 |
| Steeper than it looks! |
 |
| Lots of ripe Sumac berries |
 |
| Lots of views along the way |
 |
| A gorgeous view from the lighthouse at the end |
 |
| A golden eagle soaring around the lighthouse |
- A small black bear back at the parking lot. You’ll have to trust us that that black lump behind the bench is a bear!
Back at the cg, Al phoned and said he wanted to pick up the trailer Sept 27 instead of next spring (this is our HiLo trailer that Al bought). Yippee, Happy Birthday Gord!
After a good break (and showers) we drove out to another part of the park. We didn’t hike the whole trail at Penouille out to the point, but it included an amazing new boardwalk. It looked like some kind of touring vehicle could drive on it, very heavy-duty stuff:
Apparently there is an old salt mine at the end of the trail.
It was another pretty coastal walk, with lots of various kinds of gulls and a heron sighting.
After 45 minutes or so we had enough hiking though, and called it a day.

There are large numbers of Mountain Ash trees in this area, all laden with red berries. We’ve seen many chickadees and cedar waxwings feeding on the berries. There will be some plump birds around here!
