Port Hardy in the Summer, August central BC Trip

Where ever you go, the cedar bridges are...

There are definitely two different builders in Port Hardy on the north end of Vancouver Island. The first trail we went on was built by a logger. Here's some of his stuff as shown to us by our guide Herman.
