We slept in again, and woke up to rain. After eating Nutella on bread in the car for breakfast, we started driving West to Tofino. A short way along we stopped at Little Qualicum falls Provincial Park. It was a pretty little area, and had some great views of the falls in a small canyon.
We then drove a little further to Cathedral grove, which has some pretty big, old trees in it. It wasn't a terribly exciting walk, but it was cool to see the big trees. Root rot is a problem, so there area a lot laying on the ground, and it seems like it takes quite a long time for the wood to rot away.

| root rot and shallow roots mean they fall right out of the ground |

We kept driving and made it to Tofino. We had some lunch near a very windy beach, and then did the few walks in the area.

We drove up to the town of Tofino itself, and got some internet to try and find a camp ground. We found the campsites near Tofino too expensive, so we drove south 30mins to Ucluelet (pronounced You-call-it very quickly), and stayed at Surf Junction Camping.
