Hiking Vancouver Island in January

by site editor Rick McCharles

The BEST thing about coastal Vancouver Island āž™ we can hike and cycle year round.

As I post in January, we’ve yet to have any snow in Parksville.

This YouTube #short was shot on iPhone 16 Pro in vertical. In and around Qualicum Beach.

Most of the clips were shot in the Heritage Forest, a 50-acre pocket of old growth coastalĀ Douglas fir,Ā western red cedar,Ā grand fir,Ā Sitka spruce, andĀ hemlock.

Personally, the many wildly varied stumps I found most photogenic.
