| Description |
We hope to be able to drive up the active logging road to begin the hike. We will follow old logging roads up to the copper mine and then return to follow the steep creek down to Deepwater Bay. The old fish hatchery has recently sold and is being upgraded by the new owner. About 7km, around 3 hours, and some noticeable elevation gain and loss. |
