Lighthouse Loop
May 6, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Lighthouse loop est une petit balade autour de l’extrémité sud d’Ucluelet. Quelqu’un que l’on a croisé nous a conseillé de la faire a l’envers car cela permettait d’avoir des paysages de plus en plus grandioses ! Cela vaut énormément le coup !
Nous aurons même eu la chance de voir 2 ou 3 baleines grises (dont vraisemblablement un baleineau), suffisamment proche pour les voir très clairement à l’œil nu depuis le rivage.

————

Lighthouse loop is a short walk around the southern part of Ucluelet peninsula. Someone advices us to walk it the opposite direction as landscape are getting better and better this way. That was actually true ! We were lucky enough to see 2 or 3 grey whales (with presumably a calf) close enough from the shore that we were able to see them clearly.Read more

South Beach is accessible through a wooden path in the forest from Wickaninnish Beach. It’s a dark grey sand, and looks like a secret beach. It’s nice to see it if you are in the area.Read more

Tofino est la ville tout au nord de la péninsule. Elle est réputée pour ses énormes plages de sable, et pour être le paradis des surfeurs de la region. La ville n’est pas très grande mais vaut le detour quitte a être dans la region. Prendre un verre au Shed peut être une bonne idée !

Ripple Rock Trail
May 10, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Ripple Rock était deux mont sous le niveau de la mer, respectivement à 1.8m et 2.7m sous l’eau à marée basse, responsable de plusieurs bateaux coulés. Pour régler le problème, un tunnel a été creusé dessous (27 mois de travaux tout de même!) rempli d’explosifs (1250t !) et boum. Cela en fera la plus grosse explosion non-nucléaire de l’histoire!
Maintenant il y a respectivement 13m et 14m d’espace avec la surface !

————

Ripple Rock was 2 mountains under sea level, respectively 1.8m et 2.7m beneath water, ans was responsible for multiple wreckage. To solve that issue, a tunnel was dug underneath (27 months to dig it !) and filled with explosives (1250t !) then kaboom. It made it to be the biggest non-nuclear explosion in history. Now there is 13m and 14m of depth.Read more
