Campbell River Canyon and Museums

Charlie had a big day of hiking planned, but weather intervened. In the morning, it was drizzling off and on, so we went to the Campbell River Canyon trail, and just strolled to the overlook (a LOT of steps). We followed the riverbank for a bit through lush forest, then turned back when the drizzle increased. Earlier, we had noticed 2 museums at the town of Campbell River, so we returned to town and went to both. Both surprisingly good for a small town! At the Maritime Heritage Center, a retired fishing boat captain gave us a private tour with an insider's commentary. We followed that with the Museum at Campbell River, also well-done.

After lunch, we drove to our destination for the day, Gold River. With rain increasing, instead of the planned hikes here, we did laundry instead. My feet were thankful for the reprieve!Read more
