It is always a nice change to see some sun while being in a rainforest. In this case it was especially beautiful as the steam helped to lighten up sun beams which were hitting this beautiful waterfall in the wilderness along the west coast of Vancouver Island.
The sun beams adding some highlights on the waterfall which makes this pictures especially interesting. Virgin Falls waterfall can be reached via pretty bad gravel roads. It can take about 4-5 hours from Tofino to reach them. make sure to have more then enough spare tires when you try to get to the waterfall. There is hardly any traffic on the road. The drive is a beautiful wilderness experience with many scenic photo opportunities along the way.
