Hiking up in Clayoquot

[BCJC]

Went on a fun 3 day hike up here on the island with myself, my girlfriend, and a buddy. And of course i can't go anywhere without the mutts! The access wasn't a particularly difficult drive, just a little overgrown...

Is this the kind of road where you can get 'BC pinstriping'?

yup, whether you ordered it or not!:) you know, i really should have gotten a white truck...although i suppose the scratches still go down to primer on a white truck, you just can't see them. the first couple months were "cringe filled", but i'm pretty much over it now, and just give'er!

nice pics! Ya white kinda helps for the pinstriping thing but not much! Its when the branches start to get big enough to leave dents I start to cringe!:smilies27

I thought the road was better than that though?

we hiked the "clayoquot witness trail", which is actually inland from clayoquot sound. when driving the pass from port alberni to ucluelet, the access is by old logging road parrelleling upper kennedy river.
