This is Part 3 of my pictures from my 2017 road trip to the northern part of Vancouver Island. At the end of Day 1, I arrived at the end of the Northern Island Highway to the District of Port Hardy.
Although the road to get here has no spectacular qualities, I still find it quite compelling every time I drive on it... due to it being well-engineered to qualify for a 100km/h speed limit despite being just 2-lanes throughout, plus the complete remoteness that comes with this ~200km road servicing a population of mere ~7000. Travelers of this road can often count on spotting more black bears foraging on the roadside, than actual vehicles. My personal record low is 3 cars spotted during a 2 hours stint, all going the other way.
Also, I needed to get here, in order to drive on my favorite road. That will come on the following day.
In case you missed it, Part 1 was here:
Part 2 was here:
Once I arrived, I checked into the hotel and went for a walk. Here are the pictures.
