(Skutz Falls)
Cowichan River at its most dramatic after heavy rains
The hiking trails alongside the Cowichan River are worth exploring any time of the year.
But the experience is never more dramatic than after heavy rains, when the swollen waters of the Cowichan River take on an exciting new dimension.
