Our last hiking day on the Sunshine Coast we headed for Smuggler Cove Provincial Park at low tide. This cove is full of nooks and crannies, so it was easy to see why it made a good location for illicit trading! It would be easy to stay hidden or to sidle around the other side of one of the many large rocks/small islands to stay hidden. These days, it’s a popular shelter for boats along the Strait of Georgia.

I’d like to point out I climbed that rock, which is 12-15′ high. That may not be a big deal to some of you young, fit things, but it was quite an achievement for me! It would be an island at high tide.

What wonderful pictures!!
Hi, Valerie! Thanks taking us along on the armchair tour. Congratulations to our winner this week. Blessings for a growth-filled week to come. May the love of God shine out of us in every way so that we can bring that love to the ones we touch each day!
I love your pics!! BC is now on my bucket list! Actually, I’ve been wanting to go to Canada ever since I went to the Canadian theater at Epcot many years ago! Then, add in Jeanette Oke’s Canadian mounties and I’m hooked! Her books I should say, not the series from the books, as I haven’t seen any of those.
Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed the tour :)
Hi Trudy! Janette Oke’s “Canadian West” books are set on the east side of the Rockies. She actually attends the same church as my cousin’s family — or she did a few years ago, at least!
Hi Valerie, Thank you for sharing the pics, they are beautiful! I would love to visit Niagara Falls. I have heard that they are a site to see. Have a great day and a great weekend and stay safe.
I last saw Niagara when I was 13. I’m guessing the area is a little more commercialized now than it was way back then! It would be fun to see it again, though.
HAHA Valerie you made me laugh at your comment about “you young fit things”! I’m with you that it would be a great achievement for me too because the old knees (okay not old but not young either) would protest :-D Bengay take me away…haha!
I still enjoy the pictures. This would be a great area to visit if I ever went to Georgia.
Congrats to Megan on winning Merrillee’s prize! Happy Sunday IR….Thanksgiving is just around the corner. One of my favorite holidays :-)
The pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I know that rock doesn’t look like much in the picture, LOL, but it was a major feat to get up the thing! My grandkids could have done it five times over while I struggled up once. Anyway, I made it!
You’re welcome :)
Beautiful pictures!
Thank you!
I want to travel…inspired by your pictures :)
I want to travel, too! Further, LOL
Thank you for sharing such beautiful pictures. Congratulations to the winner. God bless you.
Thanks for coming by!
