Explore // Pacific Rim National Park (Day 4)

Our fourth day started out very foggy and misty. We got up early to catch our chartered boat out to Meares Island, which is where a natural hotsprings is located in an ancient Rainforest.

Everything looked so tranquil and calm, it was a quiet morning, a good-for-the-soul kind of morning...

Jacob found the beautifully misted home of Mrs. Spider.

The wooden planks on the hike out to Hot Springs Cove were all carved with the names of different ocean vessels.

We hiked about 30 minutes through the Rainforest before we got to Hot Springs Cove. We saw some beautiful trees, flora, and fauna along the way.

And then...the Hot Springs! All Natural and in the rocks! It was perfect!

Hot Springs Cove was worth the 2 and a half hour journey!

On the way back to Tofino in our boat, we saw some gray whales playing around in the water.

Also, some very big Sea Lions. These guys weigh around 2000 lbs!

Ah, and at last, we enjoyed our last evening by the campfire. We had a wonderful adventure and vacation. Our last night after we went to bed, it started raining again - and rained all day while we drove home. Someone was looking out for us, eh?
