back country hiking is where its at... screw the grouse grind...

i would much rather do a moderate 4-7 hour hike deep into the mountains of the coastal range... Within 2.5 hours you can be at the shore of a clear blue lake and glaciers in the distance..

and the best part

no one is around

nobody at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is the best fuckin part...


i will planning one of these hikes within the next month or so...

any takers?? muhahah...... ( its least a 6 hour hike) and you have the be on the trail by 6:30 am

is so worth it

the grind has got to be the biggest waste of time we have here in Vancouver. Littered with people and garbage you're rewarded with a half ass view and a finish time. ugh.

Try seymour its that much better! or the Chief!

hey, I'll try seymour, AND the chief, but I want to know who'll do the grind with me. So, you guys plan your hiking trips (not sure about doing a hike that requires I get up in my spare time earlier than I have to for work), I'm down. but for now, I'm looking for anyone who's game to do the grind with me this long weekend.

and plus, if it's a little overcast, there'll be less people on the trail, and the weather won't be so hot. The when of the matter is still up in the air......whenever a bunch of people can agree to do it, basically.

Cypress has an impressively nice hike... the vew at the very end of this (3-4 i think hour hike one way is very rewarding...)...

Rumor has it that at a certain time of the year you can pick mushrooms in the little valley between 2 peaks of the chief :)

whoa!
well, first off, i got maybe a fifth of necessary equipment, and time is always a major factor.....this'd be a long weekend thing, and I'm not so sure many people would be willing to go that hard....I would be, but only if time permits, yeah?

the grind isn't a waste of time. it's a nice hour of cardio, and i love the challenge of beating my time everytime. if you're going hiking too get away from people then you're going too have too go further out of the city, which is one of the convieniences i like bout the grind, it's close too home.
i've been going about once a week since it opened, but this week has sucked weather wise. keep in mind they close the mountain when it's really rainy, in case of a slide.
