My First Visit to Long Beach

Today I took my first trek down Long Beach.
The magnificent Pacific Rim National Park is the only national park on Vancouver Island, providing protection for substantial rain forests and an amazing marine environment. The full force of the mighty Pacific Ocean mercilessly pounds the constantly changing shores of this rugged coastline. This territory has a significant history, having been inhabited by the Nuu-chah-nulth people for thousands of years.
It took a long time to get back to the car, and at one point I had to sit and rest. I'll have a warm bath when we return,...and some hot soup. Then it's nap time!
