We hiked 4 ks to the Skookumchuck narrows close to Egmont, through a lovely forest. It took 1 ½ hours as we took so many photographs.
Unfortunately many trees were chopped down and just left there years ago and now have moss and other trees growing from them. There were also large ferns.
“As tidal waters are forced through the narrow, shallow channel between Jervis and Sechelt inlets, the difference in water levels can exceed two meters, causing currents of more than 30 km per hour. The word Skookum is the Sechelt natives’ term for strong, chuck means water.”
We were just in time to see Kayaks play in the waves. Beautiful brightly colored starfish cling to the rocks here.
We ate Cinnamon buns on our way out.
