Bowen Island

Went to Bowen Island for the day and paid for 8 hours of parking at Horseshoe Bay. After lunch, we decided to attempt a hike which my book lists as 7 hours long. Directions were horrible and we didn't even get to any viewpoints (because we missed the turnoffs) before we had to turn around so that we could make it back to the car on time. All we saw were trees.

We were so desperate to see ANY view that we went off trail. This was the best view we had in the four hours we spent hiking.

Bowen Island is beautiful though, and I would definitely come back and plan accordingly to give me enough time to conquer that hike!
