Our first stop today was in Campbell River’s Farmer’s Market. Here we found a few musicians and a number of stands with food and crafts. Lots to see!

The Elk Falls Provincial Park is not far from the town of Campbell River and we found a great campsite nestled in a forest of tall trees.

The Campbell River runs right next to the campground and is an important salmon spawning river. A couple of fishermen were trying their luck but we didn’t see any signs of fish.

The hike along the river is beautiful and takes you up to the hydro station. One group we passed said that another hiker had warned them about a bear in the area and Ruth did in fact see one on the other side of the river. Our singing and noise making probably chased him or her off.
