The quieter, less busy area of #GoldstreamPark. It's great to hike there in late Fall & Winter, when the campground is gated off. You see almost no one else on the trails in off season.

Vancouver Islanders: Was anyone else aware that they are planning to widen the highway through Goldstream and cut down 700-800 trees in the process and damage salmon habitat?! See the article for ways to get involved. Please share. Habitat before cars. Let’s expand public transit instead of this. https://wsanec.com/w̱sanec-nation-members-protest/ #goldstream #CarDependency #habitat #salmon #vancouverisland #BC

Went out for a #FabulousFinlaysonFriday with some friends at Goldstream Park tonight. Good times, good hike, good people. Here are a couple pics that I managed to take while catching my breath while going up the mountain.

#OTD 2 years ago. #Hiking to Upper #Goldstream #waterfalls w/my friend, Lyrica. It was 2 days after big windstorms & we saw no one else on the trails! I love it when I see no public, when out in public nature spots 🥰

I recommend this area in Winter if you like avoiding ppl too.
