Off-roading.

Unknown artist.

While we were camping at Robert's Creek Campground., during our 2022 Roadtrip, we went off-roading in the Dakota Ridge area near Sechelt and Mount Elphinstone near Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. Canada. We had hoped to see the view from the top, but it was too hazy. A 4 x 4 vehicle is a must.

"The ridge is located about 14 Km by forestry road from the coast at Wilson Creek at an elevation of 1200 metres above sea level. In winter it is a photographer's heaven on a clear day and simply just a fun place to toboggan with the family. It is closed in the summer but the area is still great for quadding and hiking." - Caramel and parsley.

"The Dakota Ridge forests are not just 250+ years old (the definition of old growth), but more in the range of 1,000-1,500+ years old (at this altitude the yearly growth period is short, the snow pack in excess of 16 feet and therefore – like the Caren Range, Spipiyus Park tree growth ring count mentioned – the approximate growth ring diameter measurement to age count is 1cm=10 years). They are truly living monuments to the past, present and future and should go into a special category of ‘Ancient or Antique Forests’ and be preserved forever." - Logging Focus.
