Walk about – Keji Style


As we prepare to move to Australia and start to learn about ‘walk-abouts’, we decided to prepare by doing a walk about in Keji. Normally, we do a canoe-about, but the wind was a bit too strong and we did not want to have a blow-about on Keji Lake.

Keji is well sign posted, even when on the water, and so with just a bit of attention to detail, you should not get lost.

Not so far – just an hour or so

The trails, on and off the water, are groomed and the tricky parts have extra support.

Path over wet spots

The old growth forest in Keji is definitely worth the walk to see. The old pines and hemlocks are as big as they get in this part of the country.

Look up, look way up

Not a Sequoia, but still pretty big

Our goal was the upper or northern chain of lakes. We call this area Frozen Ocean after the largest lake in the chain. At this point, we are 4.5 KM from the parking lot and almost to the closest camp site – #17.

In the woods

As a hiking destination, 17 is great. As a canoeing destination, it is far too far to get to for the reward of the site.

Waterfront location

All sites are great, but there are better for the length of time it takes to canoe here

We were not the only denizens wandering about. We met up with a number of snakes…

Totally harmless

… and a few interesting growths.

Just a regular old mushroom

After a brief refreshment and a short rest to admire the view, we turned around and walked out.

Ready to walk

On our way home, we stopped to take a picture of ourselves in the big red chairs. All parks now have these chairs. Last year, there was a competition to see who could photograph themselves in the most park chairs.

Just for fun, here we are at the Keji seaside adjunct in their big chairs.
