Explore // Pacific Rim National Park (Day 3)
Our third day, we spent almost the entire day doing the various hikes in the National Park. All of the hikes were relatively short and had wooden boardwalks as the trail. We started out in the bog.
The bog was kind of like a miniature forest (where trees as old as 300 years are sometimes no taller than 3 feet). With all the twisted trees, it would be a great setting for a scary movie, or a really haunted and spooky forest at Halloween time.
Here are some pretty little plants. Not sure what they're called...but we liked how they look like dainty little stars.
One of the beach hikes and exploring the rocks.
A quiet moment of reflection in the Rainforest.
After a long and wonderful day of hiking, we decided to shed our hiking boots (for flip-flops, of course!) and indulge in an evening away from the campfire for dinner. We drove up to a beautiful viewpoint before heading to dinner.
The viewpoint is called "Radar Hill." I guess during one of the World Wars, there was a radar on top of the hill. But we didn't see it. What we did see was an amazing sunset!
We ate at a place called "SOBO" which is short for "Sophisticated Bohemian". Gotta love it!
Instead of "no shirts, no shoes, no service", this is the kind of sign you find in Tofino. I told Jacob that I might be small enough to pass for a 12 year old so to keep an eye on me so I wasn't someone else's dinner!
Dinner was SOOOO good! Of course we had the freshest seafood. I have to admit, after sitting in such a great atmosphere and eating so well, going home to our tent and sleeping bags didn't sound as good as it had the previous night. SOBO was awesome! We recommend it if you're ever in Tofino!
