| VANCOUVER ISLAND,
B.C., Canada
BACK TO TRAVEL INDEX
Begin this loop and out and back drive in Vicotoria, BC after disembarking from the Blackball Line, Washington State Ferry, or British Columbia Ferry. We love the Blackball from Port Angeles. After dawdling downtown (you will get another chance at the end) head west towark Sooke, along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Several parks like along the way from Sooke to Port Renfew. After exploring both, you can loop to Lake Cowichan via the Harris Creek Main, then dropping down to Duncan before heading north. Althernatively, backtrack to Victoria on pavement, head to Duncan, and do an up and back to Lake Cowichan. North of Duncan, head to Nanaimo, then inland to Port Albernie. After taking the Lady Rose Marine boat out the inlet and back, visit Pacific Rim National Park. Retreating to Port Albernie, either catch a loggin Main to Courtenay or return to Duncan and head north again. Visit, and linger, at Telegraph Cove, before ending the northen island leg at Port Hardy or Cape Scott Park. Return south, catching what you missed or want to see again, and hop another ferry for the mainland! Not less than a week. For an extended adventure, ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola and head toward interior BC up the Bella Coola Valley!
