We took a trip to Port Alberni with our friends Holly and Nels. We camped out on Mt. Arrowsmith for a couple of nights in a cabin. The cabin was built in the 1960's and surprisingly remains in decent shape. People who have spent time there have signed books or left messages inside the cabin along the walls. It's quite a magical place. 

While we were there we woke up to the sounds of a Great Horned Owl nearly every morning. We were also greeted by a couple of Grey Jay's and could hear some Varied Thrush calling throughout the forest. 

Holly and Nels were the lone troopers to actually hike to the top of the mountain (I have a slight fear of heights so Lauren and I stayed at the cabin). Our friends though braved the steep slopes and even fed Grey Jay's out of there hands while embarking up to the top. Holly showed us a few photo's she took at the top when they got back and I have to say they are truly incredible. 

During this trip I was able to challenge myself to get more comfortable at higher elevations. I have to say, driving up the mountain on the logging roads is quite the experience.
