To be fair, we didn’t say the ENTIRE island. Thanks for the suggestions, they give us a reason to return for Part II.

Check a map – You missed, to name a few, Sayward, Kelsey Bay, Tahsis, Woss, Alert Bay, Sointula, Port McNeill, Port Hardy, Port Alice, Coal Harbour, Winter Harbour and others.

I will add 2 things from recent trips. Keep going past Sooke to Port Renfrew and then back to Lake Cowichan. This route is now all paved, very quiet past Sooke, rugged, remote and beautiful. The pavement is bumpy in spots thanks to logging trucks, but well worth it. Highway 28 from Campbell River to Gold River is the best technical road on the island. The Gold River pulp mill closed awhile back so you have an amazing road with almost no traffic. The last 10 km to GR are boring if you are pressed for time. The Westmin Road along Buttle Lake is nice as well. Highway 28 is the best road on the island by far, the road to Tofino is beautiful but so busy now. Of course on Harleys you probably have a line up behind you, not in front of you. Cam
