Better late than never - my map and photos from our grueling bike trip to Lake Cowichan. We complain a lot about the aches and pains but it was still great fun - just glad we are still able to do these things. - DeNNis.

| We started at LePage Rd (the red box on the right) - the arrows show the route we took . The trail to Lk Cowichan was quite smooth - different story from Lk Cowichan to Skutz Falls. Lots of rocks sticking up through the trail making it difficult to enjoy the scenery. |
 |
| Early in the ride - still looking quite perky. |
 |
| Old logging train on the Museum grounds. |
 |
| Had a look through the Museum - very interesting and educational. |
 |
| The weir at Lake Cowichan - there is much concern about low water levels at this time. |
 |
| "Old Dog Therapy" - This dog was having much difficulty with his hind legs but found swimming much easier than walking - he spent several minutes just enjoying the water while we chattted with his master. |
 |
| One of the carvings at the Forest Workers Memorial Park depicting the logging operations - a site worth visiting. |
 |
| Time to go have lunch - |
 |
| Across the bridge - |
 |
| - to the park where we enjoyed sitting in the shade to eat. |
 |
| On the way back we crossed three trestles. This is the second and largest, the Holt Trestle. It was here where we got pictures of a river otter feeding back in April of 2009 when we did our previous bike trip up this way. |
 |
| A couple of panoramic shots taken at Skutz Falls - the upper one showing the fish ladder system. |
