Our search for the a new hike, Sunday May 22, 2011

We had directions, so off we went trying to find a new trail in the Tarundl area. We tried to find the entrance opposite the Kagan Bay Day use site ... but it was not to be seen so we went on to the Tarundl Bridge and decided to look at that end ... we climbed over the berm and headed up the skid road looking for flagging tape. A little way in we did see some tape, very small piece of pink tape ... it didn't go in line of sight but we just went onward looking for ground disturbances and searching for tape ... interesting forest, lots of fallen mossy alder, then we started to climb up, and up ... on hands and knees. Eventually we got to a great view point. We were lucky to arrive at low tide giving us a great view of the tidal flats of both the Tarundl and the Honna as well as both up and down the inlet. After enjoying the view and declaring that we would come back we then came upon lots of flagging tape so we realized that we had found the original route.

It was a pretty easy hike down the gully, beside a big blowdown ... well flagged and and it took us out exactly where we were supposed to have entered. The problem was pink flagging tape disappeared with new salmonberry growth and pink salmonberry flowers!

None of us had a camera but if you go to google-earth you will see a posted photo there.

We will return ... thanks Reiner.
