Tourist Guide

Wanna go for a ride??.. The trails never end around here.. Go all day without seeing another human being. Just bald eagles, deer, the occasional bear.. Nice :)

Kinsol Trestle. Recently Rebuilt for human access (as opposed to trains). Completed in 1920, its dimensions measure 44 m (144 ft) high and 188 m (617 ft) long, making it the largest wooden trestle in the Commonwealth and one of the highest railway trestles in the world.
Good coffee in Shawnigan Lake, BC. Nice relaxing spot.
