Trip report by BestHike editor Rick McCharles.
Keith and I headed out to Ammonite Falls near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
Having failed badly my previous time there 😀 out of the Weigles Road trailhead, this time I tried the Jameson Road trailhead. We immediately got lost.
Doh.
Happily, returning hikers explained how we could do a bit of road walking to get to the actual trail to Ammonite Falls.
A nice walk.
Below is my original trip report from January 2021:
Without checking in advance, I cycled out for my first visit to Ammonite Falls near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
Most convenient for me was the Weigles Road trailhead.
January 15th was the best weather we’ve had in 2021. A perfect day.
And it’s an easy day hike.
What could go wrong?
Turned out the BENSON CREEK trail to the Falls was closed for MAJOR improvements. I had to find another way.
Later I found out that other trails to the top of the Falls were open. 😀
