Mountain Biking the Unbelievable Trails of Hornby Island, BC
No crowds. Mindblowingly gorgeous coastal forests. Brilliant trail designs. Hornby Island should be on every mountain biker's To-Do list.
3 ferry rides away from Vancouver, Hornby Island is a tiny Canadian island with huge mountain biking opportunities. The Hornby Island Mountain Bike Association has done a truly fantastic job of creating a trail network that has something for everybody, from steep and technical descents to super flowy, loamy single track. It's earn your turns paradise.
We spent a full week enjoying everything the island has to offer, and rode different trails every day. Our favourite route would be climbing up through Coltsfoot to Northwind to Colddeck and than descending Down through Farside and into the unbelievable downhill adventure that is The Way.
The trails are perpetually in pristine condition and the efforts of the trail crew are legendary.We just can't wait to get back and hit it all again.

Thanks for coming with us to Hornby Island. To get to Hornby Island from Vancouver Island you take two ferries. First you ferry over to Denman Island, drive across Denman Island and take another ferry to Hornby. We actually missed our ferry connection, which meant ice cream!
Our first day on Hornby, we moved campsites and did the Helliwell loop to see the cliffs. Helliwell Provincial Park is a beautiful park on Hornby Island where you can enjoy the Helliwell Bluffs and walk the Helliwell Park Trail.
Our second stop was Tribune Bay. This is a beautiful beach sandy beach for swimming because the water gets so warm. Sailboats also often anchor here for the evenings out of the wind.
The next day we visited Ford’s Cove. The rock structures are Ford’s Cove are some of the most fascinating geology I have ever seen. We went back to Tribune Bay and swam in the ocean in the afternoon and then we had pizza at the bakery in the evening.
Our final day we did an unmarked trail across from the bakery. It was a place to hike that was near our campground, Brad’s Dad’s Land, on Hornby. It had some fabulous lookout points. We were probably the only people on Hornby who were not mountain biking.
No paddle boarding for us on Hornby this time because it was too windy. We are looking for a place to paddle board on Vancouver Island on a lake. Our final day we hiked at Helliwell again. We didn’t finish our hike in time, mostly because we spend so much time gathering film footage, drone footage and photography. So instead of going to the co-op, which closes at 6:00 pm we went to the bakery for pizza and a live band.
We enjoyed Hornby Island this year even more than we did last year!
Thanks for watching, thanks for your thumbs up, comments and for subscribing to the channel.
Namaste, Melissa

So Sad And Lonely lyrics
I know these old people
Too bad to see
Them sittin by the windows
So sad and lonely
I kinow and old man
Now he' really old
He don't now his name
Or what he's been told
He had lots of friends
Yeah, He had a full life
No his memories failed
And he don't know his wife
Yeah,,,
I know these old people
To bad to see
Them sitting by the window
Soo sad and lonely
Sittin by the window
So sad and lonely
Sittin by the window
So sad and lonely

About Jill Gathright -
Jilli Martini is a well-known Comox Valley singer/performer, fronting the duo, trio or full band. Jill and her various groups can deliver a solid dance- party band, guaranteed to rock your event, but can also be the laid back acoustic show of favorite tunes up, close and personal. Either way, you will be swept away with the ‘feel good’ energy as they entertain you. Lead vocalist, Jilli Martini, can belt out a rock tune or sweetly serenade a gentle ballad. She has a wide vocal range- from clear and pure to deep, gritty and raspy. Jill's love of singing is apparent when she delivers each song with passion and conviction, captivating audiences of all ages and musical tastes.

More about Hornby Island
Hornby Island of British Columbia, Canada, is a Salish Sea island located near Vancouver Island's Comox Valley.
A small community of 958 residents (as of the 2011 census), Hornby is home to many artists, retired professionals, small business owners, remote workers, and young families who share a love of rural island life. Over the past 30 years, the island has become a coveted destination and its population easily quadruples in size during the summer months. The shoulder seasons are a preferred time for hiking, mountain biking, marine activities, weddings, and retreats. Most people reach the island by ferries from Buckley Bay, Vancouver Island. A growing number of private boats also visit through mooring at the Ford Cove Marina or anchoring at Tribune Bay. The closest airport is Comox Valley Airport in Comox, which provides regional, national, and international service.
The primary destinations[according to whom?] on Hornby are Tribune Bay Provincial Park, Helliwell Provincial Park, Ford's Cove, Heron Rocks and Whaling Station Bay. The island is also a popular mountain biking destination, with a variety of designated trails in Mount Geoffrey Regional Nature Park, Mount Geoffrey Escarpment Provincial Park and Crown Land. The total land area is 29.92 square kilometres (11.55 sq mi), of which 40% is parkland.
