COASTAL HIKING IN EAST SOOKE // We discovered abandoned mid 19th century mine!!

Where are you from? This was alright but...head to the 'North' Island for more rugged adventures through old growth forests!! You will love it guaranteed!! We could hook you up if you come!

Nikki Hark I’m from the big bad city of Vancouver. We were visiting a friend in Victoria, so this was a close drive. Hope you enjoyed the video!! The island has so many amazing hikes!! I recently completed the WCT in the summer. Hope to explore more of your backyard!!

[@nikkihark5882]

Ah! Victoria is nice, for sure and closer for you. Yes, loved your video...it reminded us of our time there years ago!! We are about 4-41/2 hours drive from the ferry. If you come, plan to spend a couple of weeks and keep in mind, we get way more rain than Campbell River and the South Island! Pack waterproof and layers! Always a cold breeze by the ocean in the afternoons up here. It's worth it though, for those looking for an adventure☺️

Sadly you were sooooooo close to 2 more copper mines that are just slightly ahead of that one, on the same path! About 2 minutes forward. Dang! Did you also catch the abandoned cabin? Thanks for the fun video!! I love these trails.

Glad you enjoyed amazing East Sooke Park. The blue berries you enjoyed are salal and that was a turkey vulture soaring overhead.

[@ColinRutherfordFilms]

Yeah looking back as I was editing I quickly realized they weren't blueberries (silly me) however that's fascinating that that was a turkey vulture!! Thanks for the comment!! :)
