Soar hundreds of feet above the valley floor and whiz past old-growth forests at super-fast speeds… and then tell the world about it! Ziplining in Whistler is just one activity to share on Hellobc.com/blogs. (Toshi Kawano photo)

From other posting you will have viewed Tofino Harbour from where the adventure tour to Hot Spring's departs.  The canopyed cover trail to the hot springs I have also highlied and mentioned the brazen blue jay.  Here is is in all his splendour.   We hard brough sunflower seeds with us to enjoy on the trail.  Little did we know that this blue jay would so eagerly eat from our hand and then accompany us the rest of the way.

Once disembarking from the small boat that brought you from Tofino habour to Hot Spring's Cove, the foot path to the Springs is a delight in to itself.  To find oneself in the lush rain forest can only be described as to lose oneself in this natural gem and to leave all the stressors of your daily grind behind.  Around every turn is something amazing to behold.  A flower blooming in late October, the vista of the ocean beyond the trees, or the canopy above you.  Looking at where your feet step, there is a story to be told in each step as the boards are etched with the names of visitors who have traversed this course before you.  If you are lucky a brazen blue jay will meet you half way at the observation deck.

From Tofino harbour on the west coast of Vancouver Island, we set of on a 6 hour boat ride to Hot Spring Coves.  Once beyond the picturesque habour of Tofino we were treated to breathtaking views.  We encountered a bald eagle, a bear  catching salmon on the shore, and porpoises cavorting in the water.  The small area off Hot Springs where our boat docked was so welcoming.  It was but a hint of the wonderful 2 hour adventure ahead along the magical hike to the springs.
