Mosquito Creek, 31 May 2020

Opinion A mixed bag on this loop made up from a few trails around Mosquito Creek. It's all typical North Shore stuff: rooty, muddy, and steep. Some of it was bad, some of it was okay, and some of it yielded unexpected treasures (giant cedars!). Mostly I've never spent so long poring over a map … Continue reading Mosquito Creek, 31 May 2020

Opinion Exactly as I remembered, the section from Lynn Headwaters to Mosquito Creek is pleasant (especially for a North Shore hike) while the rest of the way to Grouse is dismal, dingy, and a rock-and-root mess of a trail.

A celebration of trees for this #ForestFriday

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.
