Men's Walking Group


Great weather once again for a 6 Km trek and Pub lunch at the Crow & Gate.  This time a walk on the Duke/Jack Point trail near Nanaimo.  Map and photos below.  --  DeNNis.
Parked the cars at the Duke/Jack Point trail parking lot (bottom right).  The yellow dotted line shows the route from there.
 

Easy flat trail to start.

 

The welcoming statue has seen
better days.

 

First staircase - 35 stairs.

  
Reflections - from the top of
the first staircase.

   

Looking back at the sawmill.

 

The faux petroglyph.

  
Looking across to Nanaimo.

 

Very low tide.

 

Lots of unique shapes in the rocks from water wear.

 

Second staircase - 34 steps.

 

This tree needs to see a
doctor.

 
  

Third staircase - 63 steps.

 

The ferry "Coastal Inspiration" leaving Duke Point.

 

Jack Point Light in the foreground and the
Coastal Inspiration in the distance.


 

Difficult to catch these Sea Lions above water -
they keep diving out of sight.

 

 

Some one says "Looks like a golf course
down there."

 

Heading back - near the parking area.

 

 Cars are just beyond the light at the end of the tunnel.
