The Cape Fife Trail (10 km one way), located in Naikoon Provincial Park, at the north end of Graham Island, is an old settler's road, which supplied the many homesteads in the area in the early 1900’s.
The trail goes right across the peninsula, and ends on the East Beach facing the mainland (point 3-6).
We navigated mud and roots, and even tough the trail was flat, it wasn't easy going as we couldn't get a good rhythm going.

Most of the vegetation was moss and ferns, and this was the only “flower” we saw.

After 3.5 hours we reached the beach and the endless rows of driftwood stretching down the beach from the cabin were amazing.
Big Lion’s Mane Jellyfish - it has a painful sting even after it is dead.
We had lunch on the beach, and then headed back the same way.
We were in for a wonderful surprise when we got back to the cabin:
Our only disappointment at this cabin was that we couldn’t see the ocean, and they must have “heard” us, as they were chopping trees to give us a view. Wonderful!
The evenings are chilly, so we get the wood stove going and enjoy the heat and the smell of cedar. We keep the patio door slightly open so we can heatr the ocean and get some of that clean air.
