After a week of unsettled weather, Saturday appeared to be a lovely sunny day in the Lower Mainland. So off for great hike on the North Shore. Not long after hiking up from the western Baden Powell trail head, we were back in the clouds.
It was damp hike up, water dripping from verdant rock faces. A mucky mess and hordes of hikers greeted us on the main trail to Black Mountain above Eagle Bluff. Someone there unfortunately had a very bad day. Along the way we heard grouse, pikas, owls and many songbirds. We returned to the sun in the last 45 minutes of the trek.
