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.

Alice Lake

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.

The Lynn Valley Headwaters are a short drive from Vancouver.  There are a number of hiking trails ranging in difficulty.

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.

Somewhere?


This is one of our favorite places, apparently it is also one of the best kept secrets.  After our trip here we met a woman in a cafe and she asked us where we had been, as we told her she said 'shh... don't tell anyone, thats where we all go'.  In response to this we are not telling where this is.  If you know you know.  If you don't...

Eagle Bluffs


The trail dips and climbs but never to the same extent as the beginning.  You definitely want to make it out on a clear day. At the bluffs you can look down on the eagles and see the horizon disappear in front of you.

Widgeon Reserve

After you cross into the Widgeon Slough you can follow the main stream to the camp site.  We found there are some small signs on the banks to direct you.  The water levels between July and August were drastically different.  In July there was a lot of run off so the water levels were very high and fast moving.
