Over the Mountains

The journey to Tofino was beautiful, with mountains and lakes and a general sense of peace growing as we got further away from Nanaimo and nearer to the ocean. The mid part of Vancouver Island consists of snow-capped mountains, and we then followed the path of the Ellis River, stopping off on the way at a rocky outcrop where the river becomes a series of fast-rushing waterfalls, with the snow-capped mountains behind.
