Gaia Wild Adventures

First few steps along the Nootka trail and you realize you're not alone. We later saw the coastal black bear across the lagoon from quite a distance. A great intro to the backcountry for the group. #explorebc #explorevancouverisland #bearprints #wildyouth #nature #getoutside #gaiawildadventures #dukeofed #adventure #nootkatrail #hikebc #naturetherapy #camping #backcountry #nootkaisland

Della Falls in Strathcona Provincial Park. What a lush and wild valley to explore! Over 55km of paddling and 30km of hiking, the trip was well worth the effort! #explorevancouverisland #explorebc #dukeofed #dellafalls #getoutside #strathconaprovincialpark #waterfalls #naturetherapy #gaiawildadventures

Camp near the base of Della Falls. Making good use of some old mining equipment to cook up some breakfast. #dellafalls #explorevancouverisland #explorebc #firebuilding #dukeofed #gaiawildadventures #backcountrycooking #mistyforest #oldgrowth #getoutside #nature #wildernessculture

Your first time camping on a beach beside a fire that you built. Is there a better west coast experience? #wildyouth #getoutside #explorebc #juandefucatrail #explorevancouverisland #sombriobeach #firebuilding #dukelife #dukeofed
