Traboulay PoCo Trail, 10 Apr 2022

16 Apr 202213 Apr 2022 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

Opinion: A fine, well-marked cycle route that takes in all the sights of Port Coquitlam with some great riverside views of Golden Ears. While it rubs shoulders with traffic and industry in a couple of places, much of the route is close to or immersed in nature. I wouldn't walk much of this route as … Continue reading Traboulay PoCo Trail, 10 Apr 2022

2016 in review

1 Jan 201721 Dec 2019 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Well that's another year of hiking under our boots. Safe to say that we felt we should have done more but the weather seemed to be against us for much of 2016. And yet it seems we did spend more days hiking this year than last (well, I did at any rate). Summer came and … Continue reading 2016 in review

Golden Ears, 20-21 Aug 2016

Opinion My long-awaited return to Golden Ears was an unqualified success. Yes, it's a bit of a slog but it's also a really satisfying summit to reach. Maybe I'm fitter than I was in 2008, maybe I carried a little less stuff this time, but I didn't find the various nasty stretches of this hike … Continue reading Golden Ears, 20-21 Aug 2016

Pitt Lake Dykes, 17 Oct 2010

17 Oct 20103 Jan 2011 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

A sunny Sunday and a gentle wind-down after yesterday's mind-blowing hike to Yellow Aster Butte. We met up with Anne and Adib and their youngster and headed out to the dykes near the southern end of Pitt Lake. We'd walked there last December on an icy day so we were quite happy to head out … Continue reading Pitt Lake Dykes, 17 Oct 2010

Alder Flats, 3 June 2007

Somehow I'd got it into my head that this was a flat and boring hike... We settled on this one as a fallback, a hike to get "out there" more than anything else because the summits are still snow-encrusted. I knew it was about 12 km, comparable with Norvan Falls which is flat and, well, … Continue reading Alder Flats, 3 June 2007

A celebration of trees for this #ForestFriday
Mother Nature knows what month it is - Happy Pride Month!
Last weekend's tour of the waterfalls of Gold Creek was a delightfully peaceful and atmospheric wander through extreme green forest with the first of the spring flowers beginning to show. Apart from the thundering waterfalls, that is.
A selection of fawn lilies for #FawnLilyFriday - white fawn lilies from Salt Spring Island and pink fawn lilies from UBC.
A long weekend on Salt Spring Island offered up the pinkest of treats with more fairyslipper (calypso) orchids blooming than we've ever seen before. Absolutely stunning!
Looking forward to the summer hiking season and following the lifecycle of my favourite flowers, such as Western anemone, from pushing up through the snow to its fluffy finale.
