Heart Lake Hike ~ by Oz

Today I went on a hike with Dad.We drove to the beginning of the hike in Ladysmith.  We started walking down the hydro lines because that was where the trail started.  I wasn't sure it was it but Dad said we should keep going and see.  It worked out.  We soon saw a rock staircase and then started hiking up. 





And up.  And up.  And up up up up up up up.  There were many trees and small mushrooms.




I saw lots of pretty views. We got to one point where we saw Ladysmith, Thetis Island, North Galiano, and we think the mainland.  It was cool.  We hoped to see a whale but we didn't. 



Then we continued our journey up.  We got to Heart Lake and the lake was frozen (mostly).  We only heard a squirrel building his home and nothing else.  We found a perfect little birdnest on the ground so Dad lifted it up and put it back into a tree.  The silence was so cool too.  I even struck a meditation pose.



We stayed there for 15 minutes then went back down.  I really enjoyed my hike and I can't wait to take mom and Callym with me next time.  Good bye. The end.  Oz.
