Almost two weeks of sunshine and warm temperatures is coming to an end but man, was it nice this past weekend! Temperatures in many places hit around +25C and so on Saturday we drove down to Aldergrove to check out a nice and quiet park just by the American border.





Aldergrove Regional Park nice park with several walking trails in what was quickly becoming a green oasis.







A huge lonely boulder is the remnant of the last ice age.



Much of the park used to be a gravel pit which has since been decommissioned and is now covered with grass. The top of the ridge offers some really nice views of the snow-capped mountains in the distance.









We have never spent a lot of time in Aldergrove, so it was a nice trip out of the busy city. The next day we got out for another picnic, this time in Coquitlam. Como Lake Park is a small, yet popular park in the middle of a residential area.







The lake itself is small but very pretty. Walk around it is highly recommended!















For those looking for some shade from the sun, the nearby Mundy Park provides nice and cool trails. Our visit there was very brief and we will need to come back again.





Ah, spring is such a beautiful time here on the West Coast and after few days of rain the sun should be back soon again.
