BC's Skookumchuck : Mission Possible!

Skoocumchuck Narrows Provincial Park
Chelsea Ruben points out the area of our hike.

Our mission, if we accepted it, was to go for a leisurely 45-minute hike through the woods in Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park. At trail's end and from the water's edge, we'd board a boat and experience the Skookumchuck Narrows.

Kevin "James Bond" Toth will transport us to a bigger boat to experience the rapids.


Boarding the boat from the beach was a slippery affair.



Kevin negotiates the small craft with ease.



M.V. Topline, built in Pender Harbour, awaits our group to board.

I think they want boats to go SLOW.
