Quarry Rock hike at Deep Cove

Great job for all our biology 11 hikers today.  We looked at second growth rainforest and saw many of the same species as our trip to Lighthouse park. This time, the vine leaf maple, big leaf maple and salmonberry were turning beautiful fall colours.  The conifers we saw were the same, but younger. Those who were on the hike can write a reflection on their experience
