Sunshine filtered through the temperate rainforest in Goldstream Provincial Park in Langford, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Goldstream Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It is known for the annual fall salmon runs in the Goldstream River, and the large numbers of bald eagles that congregate to feed at that time. The total size of the park is km2 (937 acres). It is located in the city of Langford, British Columbia. Recreational fishing is only accessible to indigenous cultures, and not local non-indigenous residents. Huge trees stand on the Goldstream River floodplain. Among them are Douglas-fir and western red cedar up to 600 years old. They tower over substantial specimens of western hemlock, black cottonwood, bigleaf maple and red alder, which in turn shade western yew. Steep ridges—home to arbutus, western flowering dogwood and lodgepole pine—overlook the floodplain. Many wildflowers are seen during spring and summer. Goldstream Park has several hiking trails, one of which offers access to Mount Finlayson. *** Description sourced from Wikipedia (2019).
