Bikepacking Vancouver Island

Woss Lake, where we found out Canada has endless free camping!

Just after setting off on our bikes we crossed this beautiful river—what we suspect is Woss Falls.

Our first barrier—a broken down and blocked bridge brought the decision if we should hoist our bikes over the barricade or trek back up hill to take the hwy detour… we went via the bridge.

Makayla’s mighty steed. Jamis Renegade S4 2022 upgraded with Paul Klampers and hot pink bar tape.

Cockpit view. Never enough snacking!

Atluck Lake: Camp one brought us this tranquil lake that was hard not to be in awe of.

Scenery from day two, not pictured is steep grades with chunky boulders we had to walk up

Spontaneously found the most beautiful lake camp site just for us! Grateful our legs couldn’t take us any further to the main camp ground on our route.

Day three—we enjoyed our first views of an ocean inlet after stuffing ourselves full of sandwiches in town.

Rest day—enjoying cheese and crackers while lounging at the River; arguable our favorite thing to do.

Filled with energy after spending a day resting.
