From a year ago.
This is one of my fave local #hiking trails - Upper Goldstream Falls in #GoldstreamPark.

Upper #Goldstream Falls.
Flip phone sideways for full #panoramic view.

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.

From March 2024.

Enjoy some lush, mossy, coastal temperate #rainforest & soothing river vibes. Especially if you live in concrete jungles 🙌💦🌲🚶‍♀️🥾

Upper Goldstream Falls in Summer.
I like it more in Winter & early Spring - when almost no one else is there.

Beautiful 2nd growth cedar tree. Branches are covered in moss & lichens.

Another muddy part of hiking trail. There's another muddy section past the petrified cedar tree roots & then it goes uphill into drier parts.
