Nimpkish Heights - Telegraph Cove

已发表: 15.08.2024

We're sleeping in today without an alarm clock 😊 It's nice!

Since we have booked a kayaking tour this afternoon, we’re not planning too much for the morning. We're visiting the 'world's largest burl', a knobby part of a tree trunk (over 18 m in circumference), weighing in at 22 tons. It's been there since 1976, protected by fiberglass covering.

We drive south along Nimpkish Lake; the weather is slightly cloudy but warm at over 20°C. ☀️😊

Our destination is the Little Huson Caves. Our conclusion: truly impressive! A short adventurous footpath to the cave, but then swimming in crystal-clear water is possible. A small river flows through the mountain, inviting splashing 😅 The rocks are all ribbed and we take photos as if we are in a bathtub.

Our evening kayaking tour in Telegraph Cove begins just as the sun comes out again ☀️😊 We see a lot of the flora and fauna while we paddle leisurely along the coast for a little over 2 hours - 7 double kayaks, led by 2 guides 🙂

We are particularly impressed by bull kelp (looks like a mix of algae, turnip, and beet with very long strands on top that resemble linguine pasta 😅 The parts can grow 30-40m long! And during peak growth, up to 10cm - PER DAY). Next to it, algae-like aquatic plants feel like vegetable bubble wrap and pop when pressed 😅

On the trees along the coast, you can see 'Old Man Beard' (green threads hanging down from branches) - a mix of fungus and algae. Below it, red fire algae on the rocks.

We spot a bald eagle 😍 Melly even sees it in flight!🦅🦅🦅 In the crystal-clear water, we keep encountering small jumping fish.

Overall, a stunning backdrop with views of the mainland mountains on the horizon.

On our way back, suddenly, we see deer on the road twice. Two of them feel like they have just been born in spring 🥰

We chat a bit longer with the other AirBnB guests (2 ladies from Cologne) and plan our day for tomorrow.

Things are still exciting until the weekend 😉
