Nine of us hiked to Eagle Ridge and Blindman’s Bluff on a lovely day with some low fog and sunshine up on the bluffs.  The brush on both trails had been recently been cut back and the trail was relatively dry.  However, there were still slippery sections. 

We voted to go to Eagle Ridge first, so we passed by the long lake with the beaver lodge before hiking up to the open bluff with great views to the west toward Vancouver Island.  There was a bit of low fog in Discovery Passage, but the distant views were very clear.  The sun was warm and relaxing so we ate and lounged a bit before descending to the lake and then continuing through the forest to Blindman’s Bluff with views to the south and east.  We stopped again for this second viewpoint before completing the scenic loop and then returning to the vehicles.  (7.3 km, 280 m, 4 hours)
