    Exploring "The Abyss" in Nanaimo must have been such an intriguing adventure! It's fascinating how nature creates these unique formations. I love the way you captured the essence of the place in your video. The trail, the crack, and the trees all combine to create a truly mesmerizing experience. Thanks for sharing this memorable journey! 🌲🏞🌿

      It wasn't the deepest or scariest cleft in the ground, but it was pretty fascinating at the same time, and combined with the beautiful scenery, we couldn't have asked for a better day.

Locals say this where the devil was cast out of heaven and forced to drag a boulder across the land. Its not that big but its like the abyss in that its worth seeing in person.

      Yes, the path was quite uneven. Even if we'd taken the proper route up the hill using the right trail, the top part of the trail right near the abyss was difficult. Definitely not for strollers or wheelchairs sadly.

    This was a coal mining town. Nanimo was where the labour movement started in BC. There was a very bad strike in the first part of the last century. One man at least was killed. We named a section of the inland hwy after him. Ginger Goodwyn Way. Also this town at one point had the most bars per capita in the entire country. There are Four bars from that time still open downtown. All from the 1800's. As well , it seems that we hane the last section of rail that is still in use one the island. It runs right on the outskirts of downtown. If you are on the sidewalk you have to stop and let the train go by. LOL.
