Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­

LOCATION: Coquitlam, B.C.

I have been working dilligently on trying to get a crew together to do another high alpine hike in line with my most recent trip but things have not quite come together. Hikes like that are hard to top. They are like an addiction really; once you get a taste anything short of that splendor is not enough.

The good news is in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­there is such a wide variety of outdoor activities with a broad range of difficulty that not everything has to be that grand to be awesome. Case in point, . It is less than an hour from downtown Vancouver. It's dog friendly, it has some decent elevation gain but nothing too tough and you wind up at an incredible vista overlooking the Pitt River Valley.
