Road Trips on Vancouver Island

A Day on Salt Spring Island

September 5, 2025

Trudie and I took the day to visit Salt Spring Island.

This is such a large island that we were only able to cover the northern half on our visit, but we plan to get back there to see the top of the island and I’ll update this post later. For now here is what I have for this beautiful destination.
