Skookumchuck Rapids

After finishing Ironman, I went for a relaxing weekend up the Sunshine Coast. I camped out at a friends cabin up there. One of the nights I did a short hike/run to see the Skookumchuck Rapids which is up near the ferry to Powell River. At certain times when the tides are the highest/lowest there is a large amount of water funnelling through a very narrow area. Whatever is on the bottom there forms this really large standing wave which is quite uncommon. Whitewater kayakers love to surf on the wave. There are lots of dangerous whirlpools around the wave so they have to be very careful. You can check the best times to view the standing wave on the internet or at the info centre at the start of the hike. Good to see and the hike is for any level.
