"A magical place’

FROM PAGE 32

Take't time to explore these
places. They’re well worth it.
Each trail will show you a
different space, a- different
mood. A number of” these
places are perfect for a picnic
for.smal] Broups.

One of these places is very

* special. It’s a rock 30° feet

above the creek. From here

"you can look up and down the
creek. Here there are loud
cascades, deep green pools,
and steep rock walls. If you
want sun with our picnic get

~ here about 12:30. It’s a great
place to. relax. It’s: also a
good place to fish.

Continuing up the trail
you'll find a fork. Take the

‘to narrow

left trail down slope. This is a
section of the Baden Powell
Centennial Trail that con-

nects Horseshoe Bay with ~
Boggles. the

Deep Cove.
mind, doesn’t it?

* Just past this junction the

trail takes you down to a
raised, wooden walkway in a
very boggy area. It’s a. good
example of a forest swamp
with cedar and alder pre-
dominating. Keep to- the
walkway. This area is. very.
sensitive to human traffic --
besides, you might lose a
boot in the mud.

The canyon again begins
and ‘becomes
steeper. At Twin Falls you'll
find a bridge across the
Creek that gets you right on
top of the torrent. The creek
is getting a bit wild.

Continue up the right side-

of the.creek past this bridge .
to the suspension bridge. It’s

-about a quarter mile further, ©

Cross the suspension bridge
and you'll see the Ecology
Centre ahead of you.

If you live in this area this
bridge may be just another

_way across the Creek. But if

you’ve just come from the
Prairies, you will recognize it

aS..a suspension. bridge --:

you'll suspend breathing all
the way across. It’s a
spectacular view. It’s a

spectacular experience. . Do
it. i

When . you ‘are at the
Ecology Centre, see if you or

_ your children can identify

what forest types you’ve
seen along the Creek. I am
always amazed at the variety

within such a short distance.
You don’t find that in the

city.

The two séagons, I find
most ‘interesting for this hike

are spring and winter. In the .

spring the forest is dense,

quiet,- full of birds and.
salmon berries. In the winter -

the ice is spectacular as it
hangs and drapes off the
canyon walls and water falls.

There are a number of
things you shoufd consider
on this hike:

L Carry eut what you take
in -- don’t litter,

2. The canyon is a cold air

. stream also. It will be colder

than surrounding areas.
Dress warmly. :

3. If you only want to hike
one way have another group
start from the suspension
bridge when you start at
