We decided to do Black Mountain in West Vancouver. It's only about a 30 minute drive from our house. It's entirely on a trail...and we only hit snow on the last bit.
All in all, we walked 17km - gained 3700 feet elevation - in just over 5 hours.
Eagle Bluff....in a cloud
hit snow....only a few feet of it..and it was hard-packed and icy. Gaiters were helpful....but we were glad we didn't bring snowshoes.
summit shot!
we got a few breaks in the clouds on the way down...which was nice.all in all....a nice morning out.
But....on the way down....I slipped on a wet rock...and broke a nail (insert jokes here)....actually....i ripped a good chunk of it off and got a few gashes on my left hand and my left leg is bruised....oh well. Nothing serious really...I guess I just can't use my left hand for that modeling gig I was planning on.
so....I'm going to classify this hike as "extreme walking" for future reference
