The Wild Pacific Trail is an easy and well maintained trail located in Ucluelet on Vancouver Island, BC. The trail is still in development and is expanding every single year, drawing more and more visitors to the area. This post will focus on the Lighthouse Loop section of the trail which is probably the most popular section of the Wild Pacific Trail. If you want more info on the other sections or on the Wild Pacific Trail in general, visit the official website: http://www.wildpacifictrail.com/.

Schooner Cove is a beach located in the Pacific Rim National Park near Tofino and Ucluelet, British Columbia, Canada. To reach the beach you have to take an easy 1km boardwalk trail through beautiful lush rain forest. At the end of the trail you'll reach the sandy beach with beatiful views of the Pacific Ocean.

Hawaii
Canadian Rockies
European Alps
San Francisco
Yellowstone N.P.
Vancouver Island

I was kind of bored of our old blog layout so I thought I would start from scratch and create a new website. Since we didn't have a whole lot going on this weekend, I decided it would be the ideal time to get this done, so "Lo and Behold" our new website look, new About Us page, ... . I hope everyone likes it and if you're missing some functionality you want to see back from the old site or if you see bugs, please let me know!
I also managed to go through the last batch of pictures from our US trip, driving from Northern California into Oregon, right before we started the long way home through...
