Backpacking to Bedwell & Cream Lake // hidden gems on Vancouver Island (hiking + camping in BC)

[@NinaDefilla]

This is easily one of my favourite hikes in BC! What's your favourite hike? (anywhere in the world)

[@magaliehuang]

So peaceful and beautiful places. Moon and his bagpack is so adorable 🥰

[@NinaDefilla]

Thanks Magalie! Moon such a cutie on the trail :)

[@ofthenearfuture]

Moon is super cute! This was a beautiful trip.

[@NinaDefilla]

Thank you! 😊 he’s a cutie boy for sure ❤

[@joshdrennen6376]

Much respect for the amount of work you put in to making these videos. I’m sure managing your pack, cameras, a dog, and gravity wasn’t easy- but you did it well and in a very beautiful place. The coffee shot was my favorite 😊

[@NinaDefilla]

Hey I’m sorry about the late reply here! Yes, it was a lot of work! But so much fun

[@munawaramohammed]

Such an amazing video Nina ❤

[@NinaDefilla]

Thanks Munawar! Happy you liked it.

Thanks for sharing. I can't wait for my journey on the Island at the end of May. I'll be visiting friends in Victoria. Then I'll be going up Island to visit Fam and friends. I def want to go fishing as I have never been before.

[@NinaDefilla]

That sounds like an awesome trip!

[@gregoryf9299]

Brings back good memories! Did this with family and friends, had the rocks at baby Bedwell to ourselves, simply amazing! Tried to get to Creamnbut turned around JUST in time before a crazy storm hit us. Really felt for the folks crammed into Bedwell or on the way to Cream, it would have been brutal for them.

That outhouse, a royal throne huh? LOL! Beautiful spots you gals visited. Cheers from S.C. Coast.

[@NinaDefilla]

Lol. It’s one of the nicer ones I have seen

I spend my July month each year doing that, those year focusing on the west koots.

[@tdg223]

Love it!!!🎉🎉

[@NinaDefilla]

Thanks for always watching and commenting my videos! 😊❤

[@tdg223]

@@NinaDefilla Your my favorite! 😍, I have some videos on my channel of the Adirondacks if you ever want to check them out! 😎, Keep the videos coming!!

[@airaemarrez237]

Which time of the year did you go? Such a beautiful hike!

[@NinaDefilla]

This was late July I believe

[@david_onthetrail]

Baby Bedwell Lake is the prettier of the 2 camp spots but adds more to your hike to Cream Lake if that's your destination. Bedwell Lake and then day hike to Cream Lake and back is My favorite hike on the Island. The fog you see rolls up the Bedwell Sound from the west coast, cool spot.

[@NinaDefilla]

Yes I agree!

[@maddiecrewe3394]

Was this in April? I’m thinking of doing in May but wasn’t sure about the snow

[@NinaDefilla]

Hi Maddie! This was last summer in August. I’ve read that there is still snow on the trail up to Cream Lake until June. I’m not sure about Baby Bedwell though. May might still be a bit early

[@cliffordvilleneuve7854]

Love the video, Nina. Looks like a challenging but great hike. I live in Vancouver so I haven't done much hiking in Victoria but it's on my list of places to hike. PS: Was I just unaware of a really nice day out 3 days ago or is Victoria just significantly different weather? haha

[@NinaDefilla]

Thanks for watching! Sorry for the late reply here

[@kruhstey]

what time of year was this? going there next week and I plan on swimming... expecting the water to be around 5 C

[@NinaDefilla]

That’ll be chilly! But refreshing I’m sure

[@EdGuan-j2n]

It will be great if you could share the hiking||camping plan as well. Could link up videos for a trip and more ppl may benefit from that, and get more likes! (I think you deserve more -)

[@NinaDefilla]

Great idea! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@peterb8072]

What did moon sleep on

[@NinaDefilla]

In my sleeping bag lol

Hi! Thanks for watching

[@shannonhollingworth5693]

I would love to meet you and your dog. I have a disability and I have a walker and I have a camping form that allows 4 adults and 4 kids to camp for free in any BC Provincial Campground and I am looking for new friends that can take me
