| Description | A multi-day trip in Cowichan Valley. Some may stay for two nights, while others stay for four nights, but to be most affordable, priority will be to have the bedrooms full each night. We have changed the originally proposed accommodation due to the particular demand for this trip. Now we will be staying at a beautiful home on Shawnigan Lake near the Cowichan Valley Trail. For details view: www.homeaway.ca/cottage-rental/p4159511 Possible hiking destinations include: Kinsol Trestle, Skutz Falls along Cowichan River, Maple Mountain, Mt Tzouhalem, Stocking/Heart Lake Trails, Jack Fleetwood Trail, Fern Grotto, Eagle Heights Grasslands, an ancient forest hike up Koksilah River, and Cable Bay to Dodd Narrows. You may also bike on the Cowichan Valley Trail or kayak from the house. Margot will organize car-pooling and dinner preparation teams. Each hiker is responsible for their breakfast and lunch. **************************************************************************** |
