My pics from the Sea to Summit hike in Squamish I did yesterday. It's about a 4 hour journey to the summit through mossy rainforest and very steep terrain.

Overlooking Howe Sound and the Sea to Sky Highway.


Upper Shannon Falls.


View from the summit.




View of the Stawamus Chief and Squamish Valley.


Back home in Vancouver before dusk.

I haven't been to Whytecliff in a long time. That is one of the best parks in Metro Vancouver.

I just did Baden Powell from Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon. It must have been a nice day for hiking the Lower Mainland

Beautiful morning in the 'ville here today. I went for a walk in the park and then up over a small mountain/big hill to Joey's lookout. It was great to finally have t-shirt weather.

Still too cold for a dip yet

It really was summer-y, I got a pretty decent almost-sunburn. Cooler today and down to 15 tomorrow though.

The location is right for an outhouse, but it's too long (on Streetview). I'd guess it's just a storage shed.

Great pics. The second one broke my heart. There's a building in a very similar style at our docks, an old Newfoundland Railway building I've always loved - but it's only two floors high and very, very, very small compared to yours. I want yours.

Thanks! And yeah, that building is a monster. A monumental piece of old port industry.
