Beaver Valley 3&4 - Fox Ridge Road (37.5 km) to Eugenia falls (56.2 km) - October 13th, 2017

The weather was much the same for our second day of hiking as Fran, Ron and Steve, started on a 18.7 km hike to complete the East side of the Beaver Valley.

The trail starts up the escarpment from the parking lot giving us a quick warm-up for the day.

Ron soon found what he believes was Chuga (spelling?).  Eric had informed us on an earlier hike that you can make tea from this.  I have yet to try but perhaps Ron or Eric will.

The trail follows a crevice to the top of the escarpment.


The view was spectacular.


Admiring the view.





Some road walking on country roads.

Our elevensies had a view!

A sample for Ron.

After climbing to the top of the escarpment and passing the surge towers for a hydro plant, we descended into the Valley again.


Ruins of a failed power plant diversion tunnel.

The top of Eugenia Falls and the conclusion of our hike.
