Load up the panniers!
We enjoyed a trip to Salt Spring Island last week, then spent a few days islands exploring on Galiano, Mayne, Pender and Saturna on a mix of ferries and water-taxis Tsawwassen.
The Gulf Islands are ideal for this kind of slower travel: ferry connections, quiet roads, village stops, ocean views and just enough hills to remind you that you packed panniers.
We enjoying riding the newly created trails on Mayne and Pender and are very excited for the planned Salt Spring Island Trail in-the-works.
Come on over ….
