An amazing trip up the north end of Vancouver Island. First time for many things including getting shots of whales & eagles from shore 👌

Port Hardy Sunrise

Getting up first thing in Port Hardy we were able to explore a little before heading back exploring Elk Falls. Such an amazing happening place Port Hardy is compared to the little or rundown towns on the way up. Our morning couldn’t have been any better starting with watching the sunrise.

Right from our tenting platform and lasted for a good hour with the angle of surrounding mountains. The long sunrise was great giving plenty of time to quickly tear down the tent and setup my camera and tripod.

Again right from the campsite I was able to capture my first eagle shots. They were just chilling in the bay during that amazing sunrise happening to notice them while cooking breakfast.

Grey Whale at The Waterfront

Getting out of the campsite fairly early we had plenty of time to drive around and explore the water front. Within 5 mins at the beach we saw a crowd pointing and Mel spotted a whale cruising around.

Obviously I quickly setup my tripod and camera and drained one entire battery panning around trying to capture a breach. I missed the one good one but captured plenty of awesome blow offs and a fun wave.

The waterfront is basically one park after another but the real attraction is the view

This beach is of the rocky type so after getting tired of watching for the whale we headed for the dog friendly sandy beach Jerry can run on.

Storeys Beach

This is the family day beach one road before you enter Port Hardy and the massive wind propellor at the welcoming sign.

You know I’ve seen video but nothing is like standing beside the thing and imaging 3 of them spinning around and how high the towers up Cape Scott.

Not an issue social distancing anywhere up this area even though the town centre seems busier then the last couple places we stopped up here.

Pushing our time to the limit we hit the highway and bombed back to Powell River to check out the falls

Elk Falls

Only a quick 15min walk in to the suspension bridge over looking the falls this is a great view even my father is still able to enjoy.

Only downside is the steps down and platforms at the viewpoint are not dog friendly meaning Mel and I walked down the last set of steps one at a time keeping Jerry up top.

Well worth the venture down and there were plenty of other trails we did not have time to explore.

Heading For Home

After a long couple days of traveling and hiking we are all ready to get cleaned up and relax in the usual places. Luckily my dads is halfway making for a good stop to do our laundry and repack the cleaned aired out camping gear.

This trip was more about discovery. We learned Port Hardy is the best destination and priced some wicked cabins for the off season. Biggest lesson was paid tenting from Courtney through to Port Hardy is a no go with all sites being RV only. Next time we will book ahead for a few night stay and use Port Hardy as a daily jump off point to explore a new direction each day 👌

Always remember piece of mind is priceless 🙏
