Kinsol Trestle- WOW

spectacular, and lunch is here

The Kinsol Trestle is one of eight trestles along the Cowichan  Valley Trail route. One of the tallest free-standing and most spectacular  timber rail trestle structures in the world. At 187 metres in length and  standing 44 metres above the salmon bearing Koksilah River.


We'll park our bikes and find a nice place for lunch. Plenty of time to explore the trestle. Another great picture. The curved trestle among the forest really is something to see.
