Thank You, Bruce! The sound of flowing/falling water has a real calming effect on us. We could just sit there for hours and just enjoy the sights and sounds. Thank You for following along. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
Dankeschoen, Ralf🙏. It sure feels like hiking through a different world and it never stops to amaze us🙂. Gruesse von Vancouver Island, Michelle and Holger 🙏
So true! We are very fortunate to live in an area where we do not have to travel far to explore the outdoors. Thank You for following along 🙂. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
It was warmer than we thought it would be and we were overdressed on top of that🙂. Not sure if it was shorts weather, though, for us at least😂. Thank you for coming along 👍. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
exploring every weekend takes its toll so good on you for taking a break. Great looking hike ill have to check it out sometime. Loved the photos of the falls, you sure know your way around a camera. Great Video guy. Cheers!
Thank You! Yes, it can take a toll and it's always good to take a little bit of a break. We are itching to go back out camping, though 🙂. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
Thank You for following along 👍. That was a fun hike. We unfortunately do this often enough, but have already a few more hikes planned in the upcoming weeks. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
I think it's great that you are showcasing your local area. The trek to the waterfall was spectacular! The falls was beautiful and sounds amazing! I think it's normal for all of us to be a little out of shape after resting for the winter 😅 Great share!
Thank You! Sometimes we have the tendency to travel long distances to see and explore beautiful places, when so much beauty is just in our backyard, a few minutes drive away 🙂. Thank You for following along👍. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
Michelle has been wanting to do Cathedral Grove for a while now. I'm pretty sure it's going to happen in the next couple of weeks 🙂. Thank You for the suggestion 👍 All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
Wow!! Stunning photos!! We in particular love the first one!! I would love that on my wall!! lol Beautiful video to have with our Sunday morning coffee! Thanks for sharing! Joanne & Walter
Hi Michelle & Holger, boy we are still catching up on watching your videos. We loved the water fall, the photos were fantastic! Nice work on capturing the hike and the efforts paid off at the end. Michelle you are a natural in front of the camera and great narration skills. Have an amazing next adventure and see you on the next one! Tom & Suzanne
Thanks guys! That was a nice little hike only a 5 minute drive from home. We sometimes forget how beautiful our close surroundings are. Glad we did that hike. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
I love the hometown pride. 👍 The Douglas Firs were impressive and the falls were beautiful. I'd be climbing on those fallen trees over the water too, Holger - great shots! Another Monday morning made great thanks to your video. Have a great week. - Daryl
Thank You, Daryl! It did get a bit slippery up there and it was actually a lot steeper than it looked on camera, but I was somewhat committed once I was half way up 🙂. Thank You as always for your support 👍. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
Thank You 🙏. We've done a lot more challenging hikes than this one, but we're truly out of hiking shape...and it showed 😂. Happy adventuring, Michelle and Holger 🙏
Wow, the photo is stunning! We can't get enough of all the Water Falls the Island has to offer so calming and worth the hike we will have to put that hike on our bucket list. Safe Travels Mike N Sheila of the North ✌
wow those falls are incredible! the hike looks nice too. i wish our winter looked like this in Ontario! or was this filmed at a different time? nice video!
Thank you! This was filmed 2 weeks ago. We do have really mild winters here on the Island, especially here in the Alberni Valley. It snows on occasion, but it's that really heavy and wet snow. Thank You for following along. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏
Hi Michelle & Holger. Thanks for sharing this awesome trail. It looks beautifully lush. It’s great that you too are sharing more of your local routes. For people who have never been to Vancouver Island or Port Alberni (like myself), these hikes are awesome to learn about. Stunning natural beauty. I just stumbled across your channel while searching for interesting hikes. I do lots of hiking and posting on TH-cam myself. I hope to make it out to Vancouver Island soon. I hope you post many more Vancouver Island hikes. I just followed your channel! It looks like I’m your 604th subscriber! Woohoo!!! I look forward to staying connected.
Thank You for your kind words, Pete🙏! We are very fortunate to live in an area that has a lot to offer when it comes to the outdoors🙂. We are just about out the door for another adventure, but will have to check out your channel once we are back home this evening👍. Thank You for following along. All the best from Vancouver Island, Michelle and Holger 🙏
@@backroadjournals Hey guys, awesome! I hope you guys had a great time yesterday. Weather was pretty bad here is Pennsylvania, so I was stuck inside more of the day, but looking forward to some of this warmer weather coming our way soon.
Soon soon soon!
Now those are sure some pretty amazing falls!! Isn't that sound marvelous! Awesome stuff!!
Thank You, Bruce! The sound of flowing/falling water has a real calming effect on us. We could just sit there for hours and just enjoy the sights and sounds.

Sometimes it's just nice to stay home and explore those local places. This looked like a great hike to a very pretty waterfall.
So true! We are very fortunate to live in an area where we do not have to travel far to explore the outdoors.

It's ok to get warm while climbing up! I heat up quite quickly that way too😁
Hiking is easier in shorts😀
Beautiful falls😍
It was warmer than we thought it would be and we were overdressed on top of that🙂. Not sure if it was shorts weather, though, for us at least😂.
Thank you for coming along 👍.
