We awoke from a very good nights sleep to head further north to Telegraph Cove, before we hit the highway we first decided to go and do a bit of exploring after looking at some maps within the campground reception. There was one of the region within it was the area of Elk Falls Provincial Park we decided to have a nosey.
After arriving at the car park (after taking a few wrong turns) we set off packed up ready for another adventure, we decided to take a trail that would lead us along the Campbell River and three waterfalls all named after animals (deer, moose and elk). Within minutes we arrived at the end water side and noticed the first waterfall (Deer). Unlike areas in Alberta, people were able to climb on the rocks around and swim in the collection of water at the bottom known as Dolphin Pond.
We continued along the route and again, within a kilometre, we arrived at the second waterfall we quickly realised that this would be a quick walk. We got to the last one which was a lot more dramatic we slowly edged our way out the the side of the falls where a very steep drop was waiting for us at the other side.
After our relatively quick walk we jumped into the camper and headed North to Telegraph Cove. Just as the rain clouds came in. After a 3 hour drive we checked into the campground which was to be home for the next few days (we were given a bay which had beautiful view of the water within the Johnstone Strait). We went for a walk around and also to check in at the office of our Grizzly Bear tour the next morning where we were told that we had to arrive 15 min early. We were also told that as they have to work with the tide within the Knight Inlet we wouldn't be setting off until 9am instead of the originally advised 7am.
We then headed to the local restaurant (The Killer Whale Cafe) to sample the food and then settled in for the night.
