Being Outdoors, February 2023

3 Feb 20233 Feb 2023 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Well that's the first month of the new year over. The days are getting noticeably longer again which is a great mood-lifter. I read something recently where the writer mentioned that they found January and February to be hopeful months because of those lengthening days, and I'm inclined to agree. The first signs of spring … Continue reading Being Outdoors, February 2023

Opinion: Mount Seymour is a fitting place to kick off our 2023 hiking season, especially to catch the sunset on a fine afternoon. Care is needed to stay on the trail when descending in the dark but the opportunity to see the city lights and a sky full of stars makes it worthwhile. Fact Day … Continue reading Pump Peak, 14 Jan 2023

Welcome to a new year! 2022 seemed to pass so quickly... Hope you all had a peaceful and relaxing holiday season and that 2023 brings many great adventures! If we were being outdoors today I'd be looking longingly at the North Shore mountains as it's been a few weeks since we were last up there … Continue reading Being Outdoors, January 2023

Opinion With the most time above the trees, Mount Seymour is simply the best of the North Shore mountains in winter, especially on a bluebird day like today. The price is, of course, popularity so getting a parking spot requires a very early start, and when the conditions are right, venturing beyond Pump Peak to … Continue reading Tim Jones Peak, 23 Jan 2021

Mount Seymour (First Peak), 28 Nov 2020

29 Nov 2020 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Opinion With its true subalpine feel Mount Seymour remains my favourite North Shore peak, and watching a winter sunset from First Peak is a wonderful spectacle. It's busy, though, so don't expect solitude, and it will soon be even busier. Fact The ski resort was not yet open, so finding a parking spot was much … Continue reading Mount Seymour (First Peak), 28 Nov 2020

Mount Seymour, 4 Nov 2018

10 Dec 2018 ~ AndyG ~ 2 Comments

Opinion Always a fine destination for a short-ish hike, the first peak of Mount Seymour is one of my favourite North Shore summits. It's a great shoulder-season hike now all the bugs have gone, but it's not a place to expect solitude, even at this time of year. Fact We went as far as the … Continue reading Mount Seymour, 4 Nov 2018

Opinion: What? Mt Seymour again? Well, this time we had to do battle with the hordes and barely succeeded - we got one of the last spots in the overnight parking lot (P5). Was it worth it? Overall, yes though perhaps not for everyone. Having to park nearly 2 km from the trailhead seems like … Continue reading Mount Seymour (First Peak), 15 Jan 2017

Mount Seymour (First Peak), 12 Jan 2017

13 Jan 201715 Feb 2021 ~ AndyG ~ Leave a comment

Opinion: Having done Black Mountain last week, I can honestly say that Mount Seymour was miles better. On a bluebird day such as this, the views were many and pretty much ever-present. Light winds, friendly faces, and a quiet mid-week trail added up to a superb day out. Fact The trail was well established and … Continue reading Mount Seymour (First Peak), 12 Jan 2017

Mount Seymour take two... With a fine forecast and no recent snow, there would be no problems getting up the mountain this week! Eight of us met at the usual place and set off for a fun day in the snow. The parking lot was mostly clear (just a few patches of ice here and … Continue reading Mount Seymour (Second Peak), 8 Dec 2007

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.
Mountain reflections - a handful of nice views from 2022 seen in the South Chilcotins and the Canadian Rockies.
Those brief moments of golden sunshine make the hike all the more worthwhile.
Last weekend was a long weekend (at least for some of us) and of course the weather lived up to its reputation, giving us a sunny day on Tuesday. But there was a short window of fine weather on Saturday afternoon and we made a beeline for Hollyburn Mountain to catch the views.
A selection of recent beach scenes that make me glad to live by the sea, all taken within the past week.
Happy Mountain Monday! A selection of mountain photos from our trip to Garibaldi Lake a few weeks ago.
