Being Outdoors, November 2022

10 Nov 202210 Nov 2022 ~ AndyG ~ 4 Comments

Time passes all too quickly and November is here. The rains have returned to Vancouver with a vengeance and the fine weather of only a few weeks ago already feels like a distant memory. October was still a good month for hiking which I'll tell you all about below. If we were being outdoors today, … Continue reading Being Outdoors, November 2022

Rampart Ponds, 27-29 Aug 2020

7 Jan 2021 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

Opinion A superlative destination with a long but relatively easy hike in and out. The new campground at the Ponds is superb with unobstructed views of Mount Garibaldi and is now one of my favourite camping spots of all time! A three-day trip is the perfect amount of time to enjoy this area. Fact We … Continue reading Rampart Ponds, 27-29 Aug 2020

Garibaldi Lake, 24 Oct 2020

26 Oct 20205 Nov 2020 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

Opinion One of the few genuinely hikeable trails in this corner of BC, Garibaldi Lake is a beautiful destination, albeit one where all the good stuff is quite distant. I think it's worth adding in the section through Taylor Meadows with its views of Black Tusk ahead and the Tantalus range behind. The downside of … Continue reading Garibaldi Lake, 24 Oct 2020

Elfin Lakes, 9 Dec 2019

1 Jan 202031 Dec 2019 ~ AndyG ~ 3 Comments

Opinion Long but not difficult, Elfin Lakes is a much better hike in the winter since the tedious rocks and gravel are covered, plus it's a superb way to get some alpine sunshine and epic views on those shorter days. Fact The road to the parking lot had quite a few potholes but none were … Continue reading Elfin Lakes, 9 Dec 2019

Garibaldi Lake, 30 Nov 2019

2 Dec 2019 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Opinion A long but rewarding hike on a great trail, with the added benefit of being so much quieter in the winter. Not my favourite style of hike as all the payoff is at the end, but it's such an easy trail to hike that I don't mind as much, plus I know it well … Continue reading Garibaldi Lake, 30 Nov 2019

Wedgemount Lake, 12 Oct 2019

14 Oct 201914 Oct 2019 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

Opinion I have to say this trail has got worse over the years and right now I think it's pretty awful. A steep slog up through roots and rocks, the trail has been braided by the increased foot traffic and has clearly seen little maintenance to try and shore up eroded sections or even keep … Continue reading Wedgemount Lake, 12 Oct 2019

Elfin Lakes, 18 Nov 2018

19 Nov 201819 Nov 2018 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Opinion As a way to get several hours of uninterrupted alpine sunshine, Elfin Lakes is a great destination. I don't rate it as the most interesting of hikes - it's long and the view doesn't change much - but the views are superb and the lakes make a great lunch spot. Just don't feed the … Continue reading Elfin Lakes, 18 Nov 2018

Elfin Lakes, 2 Oct 2016

10 Jan 201718 Nov 2018 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Opinion In 12 years I've hiked this trail 10 times so I must like it :-) I'm actually kinda torn - it does have great scenery, and it's not too tough, but it's far from my favourite hike. Having said that, I think there are two times in the year where it's a really enjoyable … Continue reading Elfin Lakes, 2 Oct 2016

Elfin Lakes, 11-12 Oct 2008

11 Oct 20088 Mar 2022 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

One Sunny Saturday...With a fine weekend forecast, we couldn't resist one last camping trip of the season. Maria, Andrew, and I set off on a beautiful clear Saturday morning and by 8.15 am we were under way. The air was cool, the occasional sunshine deliciously warm, and the view over Squamish and the Chief a … Continue reading Elfin Lakes, 11-12 Oct 2008

Garibaldi Lake snowshoe, 21 Apr 2007

21 Apr 200722 Oct 2017 ~ AndyG ~ 1 Comment

We've been wanting to do this ever since we saw someone else's photos of Garibaldi Lake covered in snow. We got to the parking lot just after 10 am. Only a little bit of snow by the roadside and the parking lot was clear. And free :-) The parking meter was still wrapped in its … Continue reading Garibaldi Lake snowshoe, 21 Apr 2007

A selection of quieter, atmospheric images taken on my bike rides into work during January. Nothing spectacular but they all speak to me in some way.
A starry Saturday night on Mount Seymour. An afternoon hike saw us catching a hazy sunset from the summit and then being entranced by the stars and planets on show as we made our way back down. We paused awhile at Brockton Point to trace the constellations and take some photos, the best of which is shown here. Or at least part of it: swipe for a different part of the scene and the full photo.
It's all a matter of perspective...
