Along the eastern
coast, an interesting walk that can be done easily in a few hours is the
hike to the shipwreck. This hike meanders through forest for a while,
then it's out to the beach for a few miles.
The trail head
is at the southern tip of Niakoon Provincial Park, just north of the town
of Tlell. Just as you cross of the Tlell river heading north from
Misty Meadows campground, the trail head is on the right. It is within
walking distance of the campground, or is a very short drive.

Ok, this is a picture is real fuzzy, but you get the point.... A map of the hike at the trail head. |

You start out by hiking along a ridge |
Beautiful forest scenery |
The sun just coming up |
|
Once you get out of the bush there's a nice walk along a river |
I've never seen more eagles in my life |
A look back along the river to where I came from |
The first section
of the hike is through the trees, the second along a nice river (this is
a tidal affected river, so the water level varies greatly during the day)
Previous to this trip, I had seen relatively few eagles in my lifetime.
During my hike to the shipwreck, I counted at least 2 dozen eagle spottings,
and at least 4 eagles at one time. Very nice.
After the trees,
and the river section, you move out to walking along the beach. More of
this on the next page.
