Opinion: When you have only two hours of parking and need something easy to stretch your legs, the trails in Lynn Headwaters regional park are a great option. Not much to see on a rainy day, but the creek offers some open sight-lines as respite from the dense forest. Fact: We parked near the End … Continue reading Lynn Creek, 13 Nov 2021

Whoa, yes indeed, Lynn Peak actually has a view and I have to say it's a pretty … Continue reading Lynn Peak, 14 Jan 2015
