We moved north and west on the island to Tofino, Ucluelet and Pacific Rim NP. Lots of great scenery, but definitely colder than the southeast side near Victoria.
First stop had to be at Goats on the Roof! Also took advantage of a local market for fresh veggies, baked goods, and the all important coffee (Rebecca).
We tried to stop and view Cathedral Grove old growth trees enroute west, but it was crazy busy. Hoped to do it on the way back, but same situation. See the pics from there near the end of our 2014 Alaska trip below.
Tofino is a great little town right on the northern tip of the peninsula and a surf bum base of operations. Crazy people who surf in water this cold!
Now that we saw this sign, we obviously have a goal to find the eastern version.
The all important Canadian experience...to be repeated many times in the coming weeks.
Juno...no so into the cold ocean and waves.
Sunset at Qualicum Bay CG.
Fraser river bridge in Vancouver...a wee bit bigger than anything over our Fraser River at home!
Heading to a provincial park today, on the way to Jasper NP for a couple or more days next before continuing the trek east.
Goats and Coffee. Perfect morning. :)

DeleteSo are you guys taking the Trans-Canadian east, or just a mish-mash? AMack
DeleteAdam, it's a mis-mash. We're just going places that people or guidebooks tell us are cool and make sense for us. Trying to stay north-ish as long as the weather allows...which may be changing soon.
