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, unless otherwise noted. There is no need to bushwack or trample the vegetation.
Brant Geese
Similar to Canadian Geese, the Brant Geese are smaller but with a shorter neck and darker feathers. The Brant Geese on the west coast also feature a darker belly than the ones on the east coast, although they are the same species. The islands of the pacific coast offer the geese plenty of estuaries with salt marsh grasses, marine plants, and herring roe to dine on before the final part of their journey over the Straight of Georgia as part of their migration north in the spring
