A wonderful day for 13 hikers to head out from the Kay Dubois trailhead at the end of Wa Wa Kie Rd to meet up with two additional hikers that travelled up the trail from Sutil Road to meet the main group at the big mother spruce tree. From the big tree we backtracked a small distance to access the trail up to the multiple logging roads and headed our way south to end up at the Sutil Rd trail head. Here we left our two additional hikers and travelled the main Kay Dubois Trail back to the starting point. We made a small detour to the ocean in hopes of seeing our resident whales, but alas, did not. The group carried on back to the trailhead to depart after many happy holiday wishes to all.

Many thanks to all 15 hikers. (7.2 km; 2 hours)
