The Cowichan Valley Trail will take you from Duncan through Lake Cowichan and down past the Kinsol Trestle following former CN and E&N railway lines. With many access points and 8 trestles, it's a beautiful trail to walk, jog or bike. From the Island Spirit Team, we hope you enjoy your time in the Cowichan Valley.
All the Island Spirit Legacy Caches are within a 2 steps of the trail, there is no need to bushwack or trample the vegetation unless otherwise noted.
Ladybug
A friendly and adorable little insect, the Ladybug is a much sought-after bug by gardeners on Vancouver Island. Ladybugs are known to have large appetites for aphids, which otherwise could destroy a prize garden, and they also help to pollinate flowers and fruit trees. The number of spots on the ladybugs vary from none to many, and their colors also vary. Ladybugs born during the summer are orange, and ones that have stayed over the winter at least once are red.
