Deer Lake
Near Harrison


It appears as though the trail has not been maintained in many years.  There are logs, rock slides, and small stream/waterfalls across the path.

Widgeon Day Trip
Pitt Lake

The trail is very bad this year, many of the bridges have come down and stairwells have been washed out.  On parts of the trail it is best to leave the trail and avoid some of the more dangerous obstacles.

Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area

Near Pitt Lake




On the trip we saw two beaver dens a few dams and many small muskrat dens along the banks.  The engineering skills of the beavers amazes me.

Lower Hollyburn Trail

Cypress Mountain, North Vancouver



We decided to go off the trail, something we never do.  We always carry safety gear and could have spent the night.

Squamish, B.C.


Just before leaving we heard on the radio news played in the store, "..something...Alice Lake...something....snowplow".   We continued up the highway and were suddenly met with raging snow.

Back Again

At the first oppertunaty we loaded the canoe and headed out for the day.  The lake here is very beautiful but we enjoy paddling the streams much more.
