We stayed on Denman Island to hike and explore, but we also took a day trip over to Hornby Island to hike Helliwell Provincial Park and Tribune Bay Provincial Park.  

Our hike in Helliwell was a loop route that wound through old-growth forest to the St. John’s Point.    All photos by the author.    Click an image for a lightbox view.

The route was along the rocky seashore, then up onto a open headland with wonderful panoramic views:

This is a highly recommended hike, one we hope to do again, as well as some more hikes on Hornby Island.

A Youtube video shares some of the hiking moments and views:
