As a first time visitor to Canada, the sight of the rubbish bin built like the Fort Knox with less straight forward opening mechanism puzzled me until I saw the signboards that bears live there! Luckily they are currently in hibernation coming to winter in November! I think I would faint if I see a life one in the wild after reading stories about them. That rubbish bin was almost at the entrance of the ecology centre. It was an interesting place to visit to have a better understanding on the vibes in the area before exploring. There are so many varieties of mushrooms around! We also learned about the different types of bears and compared us with their paw sizes!! Despite the rain, it is still a good place to visit! Since it's currently bear free, I took courage to hike one hour around the area, crossing over the slippery hanging bridge and boardwalks. Would love to continue if not for my non walking friends who were waiting in the car! The rainy area enables the lovely trees and bushes to flourish in the area!! Hiking would be just perfect there if not for the bears! Tread your path carefully!!
