Our sons Brad (left) and Andrew summitted Half Dome (8,839’) in Yosemite National Park to watch the sun rise today. They grew up nearby and it was not their first time up the cables, but this time it came a day after they had climbed Cloud’s Rest (9,931’). Cheers, boys!
Our RV “camping” journey continued on Canada’s Prince Edward Island, where we walked on a floating boardwalk that led to the beach dunes at Greenwich National Park. It bobbed like a pedestrian suspension bridge and may be too much for people prone to seasickness.
About the size of Rhode Island, PEI is relatively flat, but the Bonshaw and Strathgartney loop climbed 800 feet during eight miles, traveling over a bridge, down stairs, and along boardwalks. If you like forested walks, this one is for you.
If you are looking for a biking or hiking challenge, the Confederation Trail across PEI will take you 170 miles. You can add many more miles by walking or riding various offshoots. Divert for a break on one of the island’s sandy beaches and take a dip in Atlantic Ocean waters that can reach the 70s. However, while we visited, water temperatures never topped 60.
