Foggy Hike

Last weekend we hiked to Jocelyn Hill from the McKenzie Bight / Mt. Work trailhead. It was foggy at first, but it didn't rain, there wasn't much wind, and the temperature was pleasant (+12 by the end). It's quite a long way from this end (about 10 km round trip) with a fair bit of up and down (600 m ~ 2000 ft) so it took us about 3.5 hours. The trail was pretty wet, running with water at some points, but that's the nature of this area in the winter. I only took a few photographs.

Arbutus trees are always interesting, but wet from the rain and fog they were glistening.

The Douglas firs were also sparkling with raindrops.

This is a favorite spot that I've taken similar photos of in the past.

I think this is an Orange Jelly Spot, although there are several similar fungus that it could be.
