Alternate Routes Part 2

Picking up where we left off on Saturday, as I pass Sage Mountain, I come to
























Kilometer 5 --  Ridge Road, heading down the north side of Sage Mountain. Views to the right over Cane Garden Bay are mostly blocked by lush foliage, especially now at the end of rainy season
























Kilometer 6 -- I've photographed this ghut before, when it was filled with a waterfall of rain run-off. It runs under the Ridge Road, and helps keep heavy waterflow off the road.




















Kilometer 7 -- Bananakeet Cafe and Heritage Inn sit at the first of five switchbacks that take you down Windy Hill and into Carrot Bay.
























Kilometer 8 -- Entering Carrot Bay, I've always been a bit confused by this sign.
























Kilometer 9 -- Towards the western end of Carrot Bay, there are a few small, neat guest cottages that look like an ideal place to spend a few lazy days.

Another kilometer or so to work and my peaceful drive is at an end.

  1. It looks like a great drive and you surely can do the old one for variety from time to time.

  2. @Conchscooter -- I took the coastal route for the first time in a month the other day. The variety was nice. I had forgotten what great views it offered
