Bulkley Hike

Another sunnier day we drove out to Telkwa, crossed the road bridge across the Bulkley River,

 then took the railway bridge across the Telkwa 

and followed a trail along the south side of the Bulkley 

that gives you a view of the backyards of the houses along the river 

and then goes through forest 

and meadows

till you wind up at a sandy beach.

Dave thought it would be a 40 minute hike but turned out we took 1-1/2 hours to get there.  Good thing the weather was nice.  

People were jumping of the bridge into the Bulkley on our way back.  We stopped for ice cream cones in Telkwa on our way home.

Some flowers:
